Chapter 42: Ambush

Ishihara Kenzo, who has been a soldier for four years, has never thought of being so complacent now, and before the execution of this grain requisition operation, the squadron leader had already talked to him privately, saying that after the end of this grain requisition, Ishihara Kenzo would be promoted to the rank of young monarch because of his previous performance. Although the rank of second lieutenant was only the last rank of officers, it was an excellent start for Kenzo Ishihara, who was always convinced that he would never stop at the rank of second lieutenant. Being a general, but Kenzo Ishihara has always been ideal, and he has been working hard for this ideal.

With the guarantee of the squadron leader, Ishihara Kenzo knew that his promotion to the rank was already ten-first, so in the entire grain requisition operation, Ishihara Kenzo has been very eye-catching. Under the tough command of Ishihara Kenzo, the grain collection team he brought had already completed its task ahead of schedule, and as for the Chinese peasants who had been robbed of their grain reserves, it was not something that Ishihara Kenzo had to care about at all.

The task has been completed, and on the way back to the county seat, Ishihara Kenzo was very comfortable lying on his back on the cart pulling grain, secretly thinking about whether he would apply to go to the front-line troops after he was promoted to a second lieutenant officer. The front line is dangerous, but it is also a good place to make achievements, Ishihara Kenzo does not lack courage in his body, he aspires to become a higher rank officer, and the front line is the only place where he can quickly rise in rank.

"Speed up, and when I return to the county seat, I will let the squadron leader know your hard work." As if he felt that the current speed of the grain transport team was a little delayed, Ishihara Kenzo immediately sat up straight on the cart and shouted at the Japanese puppet soldiers guarding both sides of the grain transport convoy. Because it was only collecting grain on the outskirts of the county, the number of Japanese troops going out to collect grain was generally not very large, and the grain collection team commanded by Ishihara Kenzo only had two squads of Japanese troops and 35 Imperial Cooperative Army.

The area around the county has already been swept and cleared by the Japanese army several times, and Ishihara Kenzo didn't think that there would be an eye-catching dirt road around the county, but this batch of grain was very important to the front line, so Ishihara Kenzo had to bring twice as many troops. Be careful, this is a sentence taught to him by a veteran who has been in the army for many years at the beginning of Kenzo Ishihara's army. It is also a reminder of this sentence that in his four-year military career, Kenzo Ishihara has always had a smooth life.

The speed of the convoy was slightly faster, which made Ishihara Kenzo very satisfied, in fact, he didn't care how much the convoy could accelerate, what he cared about was the attitude of other people towards him, and now it seemed that the other imperial soldiers were still willing to obey his command. Relying on sufficient provisions, the physical fitness of the Japanese soldiers is very good, but the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who accompanied the grain collection can not bear it, and it is still about four or five kilometers away from the county seat, if you go all the way back at this speed, these 35 Imperial Association Army will be tired and unable to get up.

"Squad leader, you should tell Ishihara Taijun, this speed is already very fast, he is not tired of sitting in the big car, but we are all trotting all the way. This rifle, bullets, water bottle, and grenade are not light, and if we run all the way back to the county seat, there will be only a few of our brothers left who can stand. The panting Huang Erhu complained quietly to the squad leader who followed behind him, and the other soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army also echoed Huang Erhu's words.

Song He, the squad leader of the Imperial Association Army, was also tired, but he still glared at Huang Erhu fiercely, and scolded viciously in his mouth, "You think Lao Tzu has lived too long, right?" I'm tired, it's easy to do, you go and tell Ishihara Taijun yourself, Lao Tzu won't stop me, I want to see which of you dogs has the guts. Song He's answer made the Imperial Alliance army immediately dumbfounded, although Ishihara Kenzo was quite peaceful today, but they all knew that the temper of this Japanese soldier was actually not very good.

Not daring to tell Ishihara Kenzo that he was tired, the panting Imperial Alliance soldiers could only resign themselves to their fate and continue to trot all the way, and they could only pray in their hearts that a large car would suddenly break down at this time, so that they could take the opportunity to rest for a while. I don't know which god and Buddha in the sky finally heard the expectation in their hearts, the big cart at the head of the grain team suddenly stopped, Song He didn't dare to delay, trotted all the way over to check, and found that one of the wheels of the cart was stuck in a hole in the middle of the road.

A hole suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, and Ishihara Kenzo, who was lying on the cart, immediately jumped off the cart, and after looking down at the hole, Ishihara Kenzo immediately shouted, "Be vigilant, be careful of attacking." Ishihara's voice echoed across the empty road, and when most of the Japanese troops had not yet responded, and those Imperial Allied troops had already staggered, "Da Da" was accompanied by a burst of gunfire, and countless bullets suddenly flew from the field on the side of the road.

Ishihara Kenzo had already made a warning, but they were not ready to deal with it, and the first to be shot were Ishihara Kenzo and Song He, who were standing next to the cart. "Poof" "poof" "poof" accompanied by the sound of bullets entering the flesh, Ishihara Kenzo's chest continued to splash a group of blood mist, until a bullet that penetrated Song He's body tore Ishihara Kenzo's neck, and this guy who wanted to be a general finally fell unwillingly to the side of the cart.

Song He, who was standing beside Ishihara Kenzo, originally thought that this was a good opportunity to get close to Ishihara Kenzo, but he never expected that this opportunity would make him lose his life faster. The continuous bullets hit Song He's body, and while his body continuously sprayed blood mist, Song He's body continued to twitch and twist like a marionette. "Enemy attack, enemy attack." Ishihara Kenzo and Song He were shot and fell, and the other Japanese soldiers in the grain transport team woke up, and in the shouts of the veterans, the surviving Japanese puppet soldiers fell on the spot and raised their guns to shoot back.

The "boom" grenadier had just ejected a grenadier grenade when a bullet lifted the Tianling cover, and the smoke from the grenade landing and explosion had not completely dispersed, and the Japanese grenadier and his grenadier had been completely covered by a barrage like a splash. Huang Erhu dragged his rifle and climbed to the wheel of a large car, although he knew that the wooden wheels could not provide much cover for himself, and it was already the best cover for him.

"Shoot, shoot." After losing their commanders and grenadiers, the remaining 20 or so Japanese soldiers were already under the leadership of several veterans, hiding next to the cart and shooting at the opponent in the field. Under the threat of another Japanese soldier's eyes, Huang Erhu had to tremble and drag the Japanese soldier who was shot in the chest to his side and bandage the wound for the other party.

The blood spurting out of the wound was not only viscous, but also warm, and finally stopped the bleeding for the other party temporarily, and Huang Erhu's eyes were already full of horror. The clear burst fire of the "da" light machine gun caused a sharp decrease in the number of Japanese troops hidden next to the cart, and the bolt-action rifle and light machine gun faced each other, and the only end was defeat. Huang Erhu turned around and looked across from under the wheels, only to see a few flashing gunfire in a few places, but not even a single attacker.

"Brothers of the Imperial Allied Army, we are the vanguard of the first detachment of the North China Guerrilla Column, we are all Chinese, and we know that it is not easy for you to live. The Chinese don't fight the Chinese, and if you want to live, you must turn your guns and kill the remaining Japanese soldiers, otherwise we will open fire on you. A high-pitched voice suddenly came from the field opposite, Huang Erhu and his entourage could hear it clearly, and when they looked at each other, the meaning revealed in their eyes was also different.

Huang Erhu naturally wants to live, the squad leader Song He is dead, and among the remaining Imperial Cooperative Army, Huang Erhu can already be regarded as a veteran, so after everyone looked at each other, the other Imperial Cooperative Army soldiers all focused their eyes on Huang Erhu. Pulling the trigger and firing a shot, Huang Erhu paid attention to the movements of the Japanese soldiers on his side with the corner of his eye, and saw that those Japanese soldiers were only concerned about shooting back, Huang Erhu's right hand slowly moved to the grenade on the side of his waist.

Faced with a life-and-death situation, no one would want to choose death, seeing Huang Erhu reaching out to touch the grenade on his waist, the other soldiers of the Imperial Association Army probably knew Huang Erhu's choice. "Baga, Huang, your conscience is greatly broken." Huang Erhu wanted to live, so he had no choice but to turn back before the battle, but unfortunately when he sneaked to get the grenade, he forgot that there was still a wounded Japanese soldier lying at his feet who had just bandaged his wounds.

Huang Erhu's hand touched the grenade on his waist, and he only felt that his lower abdomen seemed to be pierced with a hot iron bar, and when he looked down, the wounded Japanese soldier who had just been bandaged by himself was looking at him with a cruel smile, and the bayonet in the hand of the wounded Japanese soldier had also penetrated deeply into his abdomen. "Dog's day little devil." Huang Erhu only had time to shout the last sentence, and the whole person lost consciousness and fell into darkness.

"them, kill them, the little devil stabbed Huang Erhu to death." Seeing Huang Erhu die at the hands of the Japanese soldiers who were close at hand, the other soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army immediately didn't care about it, and directly turned their guns and fired a volley of guns at the remaining Japanese soldiers. The sneak attack on their own side caused heavy casualties to the surviving Japanese soldiers, and there were only 5 of the original dozen Japanese soldiers left in an instant, and after a chaotic burst of gunfire, the last 5 Japanese soldiers were silent.

"Don't shoot, we're surrendering." With the shouts of the soldiers of the Imperial Army, a white flag made of white shirts was hung high on the rifles, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army waving the white flag got up, stacked their weapons and ammunition together, and then stood in the open space with each other's arms, at this time there were only 11 people left.
