Chapter 121 [Revenge]
It dawned on Klaus Schmidt when he saw the string of numbers on Magneto's Eric Lanshel's right arm.
ββ¦β¦ You've found it. β
When Klaus Schmidt said this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He and Adolf Eichmann were both high-ranking officials in Nazi Germany. Two men were the main leaders of the "final settlement" against the Jews.
In 1934, Adolf Eichmann and Klaus Schmidt were appreciated by the intelligence genius Heydrich, the "FΓΌhrer's crown prince", for managing the Dachau concentration camp in Germany.
Adolf Eichmann tried to relocate Jews from Germany to Palestine, but his plan was shelved for economic reasons.
Subsequently, Jews were subjected to a bloody massacre by the Nazis in Germany.
Magneto's parents and relatives Eric Lanschel died in the Dachau concentration camp in Germany.
"Don't you feel ashamed to live in the world in the face of the spirits of the dead in the darkness?" As Magneto spoke, he already had an extra bayonet in his hand.
That bayonet was specially worn by Nazi officers.
Adolf Eichmann and Klaus Schmidt were silent when they heard Magneto's words, knowing that today was their time of death.
At this time, the old man of the yellow race, who had been waiting beside him, suddenly said in English: "Young man, the two of them are just old men in their twilight years. Although when they were young, they fanatically followed Hitler and committed heinous murders, but now they have sincerely repented. They have already laid down their butcher's knives and become Buddhas......"
Magneto sneered and said to the old man of the yellow race, "Excuse me, who are you?" β
As soon as Tang Lang heard the old man of the yellow race speaking English, he had already guessed that he was Japanese, but he didn't know who he was.
The old man of the yellow race said: "Like Eichmann and Schmidt, when I was young, I was an officer and committed endless murders, and now we have completely repented. β
Magneto raised the bayonet in his hand sideways and looked at the string of German words branded on it, "Blood and glory...... Will the words engraved on this bayonet forgive those who have sincerely repented? β
As he spoke, his gaze suddenly became cold, and a sharp light flashed through it.
The bayonet had already flown out of his hand and stabbed Klaus Schmidt in the heart, deep into it.
"Uh......"
Klaus Schmidt cried out in pain, and touched his heart with his trembling hands. Blood trickled down the cracks between his fingers.
Magneto unleashed a powerful magnetic force and sucked out the bayonet that had been inserted into Klaus Schmidt's heart.
Once again, the bayonet fell into the hands of Magneto.
Magneto then stabbed the bayonet into the chest of Adolf Eichmann, who was standing next to him, and pulled it out with a swift effort, bringing out a stream of blood.
In just a matter of seconds, Magneto killed two people in a row, stabbing Adolf Eichmann and Klaus Schmidt to death.
The old Japanese man suddenly pulled out his pistol and aimed it at Magneto.
Magneto looked at him and smiled, and said, "Don't be afraid. I have no grievances with you. I'm not going to kill you. As he spoke, he held out five fingers toward the pistol.
The pistol was attracted by a strong magnetic force, and at once it broke away from the grasp of the old Japanese man and flew into the hands of Magneto.
Magneto looked coldly at the pistol in his palm.
I saw that the pistol slowly twisted and deformed under the action of his powerful magnetic force, and in the end, it shrank into a ball and became a piece of scrap metal.
"Click".
Magneto threw the twisted pistol to the ground.
The old man in Japan looked at Magneto with frightened eyes.
At this time, Tang Lang suddenly asked the old Japanese man: "You just said that you, like Eichmann and Schmidt, were once military officers when you were young and committed endless murders?" β
The old Japanese man looked at Tang Lang and said, "Yes." I have now repented completely. β
"Then you must be a Japanese officer who invaded Huaxia? ββCan you tell me your name? β
"Who are you?"
The old Japanese man's eyes were suspicious.
Tang Lang said calmly: "They all call me 'Seraph'. β
"Seraph!?"
The old man frowned slightly.
ββ¦β¦ Purify people's souls with holy divine fire, and dispel the darkness of the world with a thousand rays of light...... Is this the legendary Seraph? β
Tang Lang smiled, "I think when Charles gave me this nickname, he should have meant it in his heart." β
ββ¦β¦ Under the Emperor's holy decree, the strictness of the king's order cannot be resigned. And it seems to be the dark fog of today, only tears wash the dust. The old man in Japan finished reading a short poem full of sadness with a sense of vicissitudes, and said: "-- Yes, in those days, I was ordered by the emperor to go on an expedition to the country of China. β
Tang Lang originally didn't know who this short old Japanese man was, but when he heard it, "Under the Emperor's holy decree, the strictness of the king's order is not acceptable." And it seems that the fog is now dark, and only tears wash away the dust" This short time, the name of a Japanese general suddenly appeared in his mind - Yanagawa Heisuke.
He also recited the short poem, and then asked the old Japanese man, "Did you write this short poem?" β
"It's just a clumsy work."
"Haha......" Tang Lang suddenly laughed wildly, "Then you must be Yanagawa Heisuke, the commander of the 10th Army of the Japanese Army that invaded China back then!" β
The old man in Japan was shocked, his eyes widened and he looked at Tang Lang.
- Naturally, he didn't expect Tang Lang to know his true identity through a short poem.
This short old Japanese man is none other than Yanagawa Heisuke, the commander of the 10th Army of the Japanese invasion of China.
Yanagawa Heisuke was a general of the "Imperial Road" faction of the Japanese Army during World War II.
The Imperial Sect of the Japanese Army advocated a military state, but it was to achieve this through the "Emperor's own government", and its leader was Admiral Sadao Araki.
The Imperial Road faction and the "control faction" of the Japanese Army, which advocated the goal of militarization through the integration of the state system, confronted each other and confronted each other.
The generals of the Japanese Army's commanding faction, such as Ishihara Wanji, Tojo Hideki, Itagaki Seishiro, and a large number of officers of the Young Zhuang faction, held the main positions in the top echelons of the Japanese Army and tried their best to suppress the generals of the Imperial Army.
On February 26, 1936, the Imperial Highway faction generals, with young middle- and lower-ranking officers as the main force, were dissatisfied with the control of the Japanese government by the chaebol and the military leadership, so they staged a military coup d'Γ©tat, besieged the Prime Minister's Office, the National Assembly Hall, the Ministry of the Army, the General Staff Headquarters, the Metropolitan Police Department and other Japanese military and political offices, and wantonly slaughtered high-ranking figures in Japanese political and military circles.
However, the mutiny was quickly suppressed.
The generals of the Ruling faction used this as an excuse to begin a large-scale purge of the generals of the Imperial Sect.
As a general of the Imperial Road faction, Yanagawa Heisuke was also ordered to retire from active service because of this.
However, Yanagawa Heisuke was known for his ability to use roundabout tactics in the Japanese Army.
Therefore, after the "Shanghai Dispatch Army" led by General Matsui Ishine was heavily damaged by the Chinese army in the Songhu battlefield, the Japanese central ministry thought of using Yanagawa Heisuke.
As a result, the Japanese High Command transferred the 6th Division, the 18th Division, the 114th Division, the Kunisaki Detachment, the 2nd Wing of the Independent Mountain Artillery, the 6th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery, the 1st Reserve Infantry Regiment, and the 2nd Reserve Infantry Regiment from North China, totaling 110,000 troops, to form the 10th Army, and appointed the suppressed Imperial General Yanagawa Heisuke as the commander of the 10th Army.
Yanagawa Heisuke himself was thrilled when he heard the news. So, he led the 10th Army of the Japanese Army in high spirits and embarked on the road of "expedition" to Huaxia.
However, the generals of the command faction, who controlled the top echelons of the Japanese army, did not allow Yanagawa Heisuke's name and photo to appear in public publications.
As a result, Yanagawa Heisuke was known as the "Mask General" at the time, and few people knew his true identity.
Yanagawa Heisuke led the Japanese 10th Army to make a sneak attack and landing from the area of Shanghaijinshanwei on the north shore of Hangzhou-Zhou Bay, and thus together with Matsui Ishine's Japanese army, quickly surrounded the Huaxia army that was holding on to the Songhu battlefield.
The Huaxia army was forced to retreat from the Songhu battlefield, and since then it has been defeated like a mountain and fallen into the chaos of retreat.
Soon after, Yanagawa Heisuke led the Japanese 10th Army along Zhejiang and Hui provinces, entered Su Province, surrounded Nanjing, and then launched a massacre.
The main person responsible for the massacre, the commander of the Japanese Sixth Division, Lieutenant General Toshio Tani, was the commander of the 10th Army, Yanagawa Heisuke.
It can be said that it was the connivance of Yanagawa Heisuke that led to the massacre of the Japanese army in Nanjing.
β¦β¦
Countless past events seemed to suddenly appear in Tang Lang's mind.
He knew that the Japanese government and the Japanese people had never thoroughly repented of their atrocities as the Germans did, and some Japanese officials even flatly denied that the massacre had been carried out in Nanjing.
Tang Lang even thought that the Japanese nation was really an evil nation, and they should really be ......
"Didn't you die of a heart attack a few days before Japan announced its surrender? Why did you end up in Buenos Aires, Argentina? β
Tang Lang looked coldly at this old Japanese man Yanagawa Heisuke.
-- Yanagawa Heisuke was added to the International Military Tribunal for the Far East as a Class B war criminal after the war.
After being recognized by Tang Lang, Yanagawa Heisuke smiled bitterly and said, "Have you ever heard of the Shadow Warrior?" β
The Shadow Warrior, that is, the Shadow Warrior, Tang Lang had naturally heard of it.
Yanagawa Heisuke said, "The one who died in Japan instead of me and was buried in the scenery was one of my shadow warriors. And I secretly came to Argentina via the United States to live in seclusion. I didn't expect that Skynet ......"
"The sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, you were still discovered by a Chinese man called Seraph." Tang Lang said the latter words for Yanagawa Heisuke.
"Indeed, I am a war criminal......"
"War criminals should be hanged!"
Tang Lang said, his mind moved, and the qi that had been refined with the red lotus karmic fire in the inner pill flowed along the meridians to the Lao Gong acupoint in the palm of his right hand, overflowing, and in an instant, it turned into a fiery red and sharp long sword, emitting a blazing red light.
"I didn't expect that the first person to become my true sword was a Japanese war criminal!"
With the anger in Tang Lang's heart, the red lotus karmic fire burst out from the immovable heart seal, and then snorted and ignited from the right hand Lao Gong acupoint along the meridians, and quickly wrapped around the True Qi Sword, turning it into a fire sword!
