Chapter 106: Dawn

7.106 Dawn

"Your Excellency Shaozuo! That Chinese captain really surrendered! I'm absolutely sure! He had already lost his pistol before, and now he was completely at the mercy of others! ”

The second lieutenant interpreter excitedly told Arai about what he had heard and seen, completely ignoring the disdainful gazes of Lieutenants Nagao and Yamazaki. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoA translator like him, who was temporarily drafted into an army division because he knew Chinese, has no future at all, and is more suitable for him than the army, or the intelligence agency.

After the imperial army captures Xuzhou, it should be able to be transferred to Beiping or Tianjin, right? The second lieutenant translator has long been full of disgust for these rough army officers of the army divisions! His heart had flown to the rear far from the flames of war.

"The officers and men of the 25th Army are the elite of the Chinese people! It is the descendant of Huang Haoran, the victorious general of China! The Imperial Army and Huang Haoran's troops fought many battles, and they never captured officers or soldiers of Huang Haoran's troops! This time, Arai Shaoza has really made outstanding achievements! ”

The person who said this was Lieutenant Yamazaki, and Arai Shaosa heard another meaning in Lieutenant Yamazaki's words, that is, Lieutenant Yamazaki did not think that the Chinese captain in the middle of the minefield was a member of the 25th Army. For Lieutenant Yamazaki's question, Arai Shaoza really has no good way to deal with it, now the Chinese captain is stepping on a mine under his feet, as long as the Chinese captain raises his foot slightly, the great credit of the 3rd Brigade in capturing the prisoners of war of the 25th Army will be in vain!

"Lieutenant Nagao, do the sappers have a way to clear the mines from the feet of that Shina? An officer of the 25th Army who is willing to surrender to the Imperial Army, the military department will love this guy very much! ”

The thorny question was once again thrown by Arai Shosa to Lieutenant Nagao, and people who didn't know Lieutenant Nagao would think that Lieutenant Nagao was an officer in the engineering unit.

"I'm going to ask the sappers, maybe they'll have a way to ......"

Lieutenant Nagao didn't even have a chance to complain in a low voice this time, and with Lieutenant Yamazaki beside him, Lieutenant Nagao couldn't make a sound at all.

After a while, Lieutenant Nagao arrives with an engineer ensign, and the engineer ensign tells Arai that he and his men can give it a try!

"Excellent! Lieutenant! I'll leave it to you! Lieutenant Nagao, you take half a squad of infantry to follow the sappers, I will let the grenadiers keep an eye on the machine guns of the Chinese, take care of you! ”

Arai Shaosa's encouragement seems a bit hypocritical, the reason why he asked Lieutenant Nagao to come up with the infantry and sappers is actually worried that Lieutenant Yamazaki will take the opportunity to ask for a pole in the middle, Arai Shaoza's mood is very conflicted now, he hopes to capture Liu Yutian and make a war achievement, but also worried that Liu Yutian will shake out his failure to encircle and annihilate the Chinese artillery observers. Put a few "own people" on the front line, and Arai Shaozo will feel more at ease.

After thinking about it, Arai Shaosa picked Lieutenant Nagao.

Lieutenant Yamazaki is now completely sure that Shosa Arai has something to hide from him! It's just a prisoner of war, and there is no need to send so many troops. Arai Shaosa actually didn't want Lieutenant Yamazaki to have a chance to get involved! After seeing through Arai Shaosa's plan, Lieutenant Yamazaki became even more interested in the Chinese captain who stepped on a mine under his feet!

He decided to go to the front line anyway!

"Your Excellency Shaozuo! The pursuit of these artillery observers in China was a task assigned to me by the captain of the Furong Wing! I have to go to the front line! Regardless of whether His Excellency Shaozo agrees or not, I will take action! ”

Lieutenant Yamazaki's words were more like an ultimatum, and there was no reason why Arai Shaosa would not agree. Although Arai Shaozo was very annoyed in his heart, he still had to say against his will: "Mixi! Lieutenant Yamazaki is indeed a brave member of our 63rd Wing! You take your people and Lieutenant Nagao to act together! However, the army on the opposite side will definitely not stand idly by, and the troops invested cannot be too much! ”

Lieutenant Yamazaki knew very well that this was the biggest concession that Arai Shaosa could make, after all, the Majiayao position was the place of the Third Brigade, and Lieutenant Yamazaki actually didn't dare to use strength in Arai Shaosa, what he said just now was just a bluff. If it hadn't happened to run into the weak-hearted Arai Shaosa, Lieutenant Yamazaki's set would not have succeeded at all. Now hearing that Shosa Arai allowed Lieutenant Yamazaki's squad to participate in the operation, Lieutenant Yamazaki quickly agreed.

"Hay! Your Excellency, I only take five soldiers with me! I believe that it will definitely not cause trouble to Lieutenant Nagao! ”

Watching the back of Lieutenant Yamazaki climbing out of the trench, Arai Shaosa really wanted to shoot this ill-intentioned guy!

**************************************************

Lieutenant Nagao deliberately walked with the engineer ensign, and the minefield in front of the Majiayao position was set up by the sappers of the 3rd Brigade only yesterday evening, and now it has not even passed overnight, and the Japanese sappers can easily remember the location of each mine. Only under the leadership of the sappers could the infantry under Lieutenant Nagao get close to Liu Yutian in the center of the minefield.

"Ensign! How powerful are these mines planted by your sappers? I think there's a chance that Captain China might play tricks, and we have to keep a safe distance from him. Otherwise, we'll be all done with him lifting his legs! Actually, I have a feeling! That's what that damn Shina guy thinks! ”

Lieutenant Nagao's fears were not unreasonable, and the 63rd Wing had seen Chinese army daredevils carrying explosive bags and cluster grenades with their vehicles on several occasions during the battle at Taierzhuang. Lieutenant Nagao would not be surprised at all if the deviant officer of the 25th Army on the other side had the intention of luring Lieutenant Nagao and them over and killing them with mines.

At this time, Lieutenant Yamazaki, who had left the Majiayao position last, finally caught up, and he also knew that it was safest to stay with the engineer commander.

"Lieutenant Nagao, we have planted several kinds of mines in this minefield, and the power is not the same, but judging from the way this Shina officer always maintains a standing posture and does not dare to move, it can be judged that there should be a pressurized anti-infantry mine under his feet! This kind of lightning is not very powerful, as long as we stay in the area five meters away, we will not be threatened! ”

The engineer lieutenant talked about the mines, and he finally got the opportunity to perform in front of Lieutenant Nagao, and the engineer lieutenant naturally tried his best to show off, and he was eager to use the distance of more than 100 meters to turn Lieutenant Nagao into a qualified engineer commander.

"Five meters! I know! You! Come here!! Inform everyone to keep a distance of at least five meters from the officers in China! Lieutenant Nagao nodded, and then summoned a military officer and asked him to pass on the order to keep a safe distance of five meters! Lieutenant Nagao was going to prepare for the worst, he had thought of almost everything, but he never imagined that Company Commander Liu would stuff a grenade into his cotton uniform!

One mine plus a dozen grenades, the radius of destruction is already far more than five meters! The confident engineer ensign misled Lieutenant Nagao, and this fatal mistake made by Lieutenant Nagao decided his tragic fate in advance!

Lieutenant Yamazaki, who was closely followed by Lieutenant Nagao, heard this conversation between Lieutenant Nagao, an engineer ensign, and Lieutenant Yamazaki appreciated Lieutenant Nagao's caution very much! Lieutenant Yamazaki thinks it would be very safe to stay with a "smart" guy like Lieutenant Nagao, so he makes up his mind not to leave Lieutenant Nagao for a single step.

This can be regarded as an unexpected gain for Company Commander Liu.......

Liu Yutian silently calculated the distance between the devil and him in his heart, a large amount of blood loss had made his eyesight begin to decline, in order to see the devil's movements clearly so that it would not be too early or too late to pull the grenade, Company Commander Liu had been desperately biting his lip with his teeth, he hoped to use pain to maintain his sobriety!

Little devil, hurry up! Grandpa wants to give you a good taste!

Liu Yutian worked hard to maintain the balance of his body, and he couldn't fall down yet, because he still had a mine under his feet!

This mine is the launcher that Liu Yutian prepared for the grenade, and after the company commander Liu plans to pull off the string of the grenade, he will release the foot of the mine, so that the explosive grenade with the mine will be thrown higher and farther, and Liu Yutian estimates that the killing radius must be more than ten meters! If the mine under his feet is the barrel of a mortar, then Liu Yutian treats himself as a mortar shell, and these grenades in his arms are the warheads of mortar shells!

Come on! Little devil! Hurry up and get into Lao Tzu's range!

In this operation, Lieutenant Nagao brought his cautious personality to the extreme! Now, in order to get close to a prisoner of war who had been shot in his limbs and stepped on a mine under his feet, Lieutenant Nagao actually commanded half of his infantry squad to put on a closed stance!

The crooked machine gun was quickly set up, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at the position of the 183rd Regiment on the opposite side, and after the machine gun firing point was established to form a support, Lieutenant Nagao let his infantry and engineers slowly approach Commander Liu Company together, while Lieutenant Nagao's eyes kept staring at the 183rd Regiment position behind Liu Yutian.

Arriving at a distance of about five or six meters from Liu Yutian, Lieutenant Nagao ordered his infantry to stop, and the last part of the journey was handed over to the sappers! Whether or not the Chinese captain who was surrounded by infantry squads was captured was up to the engineer ensign!

Company Commander Liu knew that the little devil infantry would not lean forward, and he couldn't wait until the devil sappers approached him before pulling the strings, so that the devil sappers would see the tail smoke coming out of the grenades. In that case, the devil soldiers will scatter and flee, and the killing effect calculated by Company Commander Liu will be greatly reduced!

It's night, and at a distance of a few meters, the tail smoke of the grenade won't be so noticeable. At the same time that several devil sappers walked out of the ranks of the Japanese army alone and approached Liu Yutian, Company Commander Liu pulled off the string of the grenade.

In three seconds, it's over!

The Japanese engineer ensign walked very lightly, and the speed of the advance was not fast. After listening to Lieutenant Nagao's "reasonable judgment" just now, he paid special attention to Liu Yutian's feet! Just like Lieutenant Nagao said, if this is Liu Yutian's trap, then this mine that was trampled under the feet of Company Commander Liu is his only weapon!

The downward gaze made the engineer ensign not notice the white smoke coming out of Company Commander Liu's waist, and Company Commander Liu successfully finished reading it for a second!

There are two seconds left, and these Oriental brutes should not be able to escape! Company Commander Liu suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and in the midst of the whirlwind, he seemed to see his brothers who had died in battle coming to pick him up!

By this time, the sky began to brighten, and the long dark night was soon to pass......

The increase in light made the visibility a little higher, and the Japanese engineer ensign, who was still staring at the feet of Company Commander Liu, suddenly saw a very thin wisp of white smoke, and out of the sensitivity of professional instinct, the heart of the engineer ensign contracted violently!

Under the strong stimulation, the field of vision of the engineer ensign finally returned to a normal level, he stopped blindly staring at Liu Yutian's feet, and finally, the engineer ensign discovered the abnormality on Company Commander Liu!

"Ah......h

A sharp howl sounded in the night sky, and at the same time, Liu Yutian finished reading the second second!

Come on! It's over! More than a dozen devils rushed up to accompany the funeral, and there were a few officers inside! That's enough!

Next, the engineer lieutenant was horrified to see a smile on Company Commander Liu's face, and at the same time, Company Commander Liu's feet on the mine were also raised!

Liu Yutian smiled so peacefully, he raised his feet as if he was about to visit an old friend of his!

The huge explosion tore Company Commander Liu's body into several pieces, and the grenades he carried in his cotton clothes flew all over the sky, and some of them hit the ground and rebounded, and the last second passed quickly, and the grenades exploded one after another, some of these explosions were on the top of the devils' heads, and some were under the feet of the devils!

Raging shockwaves and flying shrapnel are reaping lives in a frenzy! The engineer second lieutenant was closest to where Company Commander Liu stood, and he and her engineers were hit twice by mines and grenades, and were blown beyond recognition, like oil cakes fished out of boiling oil.

The cautious Lieutenant Nagao was at least inserted with grenades and shrapnel of various sizes of divisional films, and a sharp triangular piece of shrapnel flew into his brain from the socket of his right eye, piercing Lieutenant Nagao's eyeball, stirring up Lieutenant Nagao's brain, and white brain pulp and crimson blood flowed out of Lieutenant Nagao's nostrils and hung on Lieutenant Nagao's chest.

Lieutenant Yamazaki was the unluckiest one, a grenade that bounced off the ground flew directly under Lieutenant Yamazaki's crotch and exploded, blowing up the lower half of Lieutenant Yamazaki's body into a bloody blur! Basically, he couldn't find a piece of intact skin from the waist down, and Lieutenant Yamazaki's curiosity cost him his life!

Arai Shaozo on the Majiayao position was stunned by what was happening in front of his eyes, the Chinese captain had obviously planned all this a long time ago, and now he was putting it into action!

The 25th Army is such a terrifying existence! For the sake of this Chinese captain, the 3rd Brigade paid the price of at least twenty people! Among them are also three officers of the rank of captain! If the battle in Taierzhuang is such an exchange ratio, the North China Front Army may not be able to take down Taierzhuang even if it is all jade shattered!

The night is coming to an end! What will the next dawn look like? (To be continued.) )
