Chapter 39: The Battle of Ishigaki Island (1)

Ishigaki Island is located at the same latitude as Hawaii, and the sun shines all year round, and in some places in the northwest and northeast of the country, it has entered winter in November, and there are only rainy and dry seasons here, and there are no four seasons.

The night in Ishigaki Town is quiet, and the occasional Japanese shouting can be heard from a Japanese tavern, and ordinary people cannot go out at night due to the Japanese night ban on the street. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and the patrol team on the street had experienced the lively scene during the day, looking at the quiet and terrifying town of Ishigaki, and complaining.

On a street in Ishigaki Town, more than a dozen people were hidden on both sides, and when the Japanese police force on night patrol walked by, they quickly dragged them into the darkness, and then a police force with the same equipment came out of the side alleyway to patrol. They walked not far from the police guard, and a sound of surprise came from a dark corner, and then a man who looked like a Japanese officer with a pistol came out, followed by four Japanese soldiers.

"Togawa-kun, isn't it Kanna-kun's night patrol tonight?"

"It turned out to be Asano Juncao, hey, Kanna-kun said that there was something wrong at night, let me help patrol the night." As he spoke, he stepped forward, lit a cigarette for Asano, and whispered, "You know that the people I brought are all locally recruited, and the people he brought are all people from my Great Japanese Empire, so there is no way." ”

The one who was called Asano Juncao was a squad leader of the Japanese squad stationed in Ishigaki Town, but the rank was already Juncao, and the deputy captain of some squads could only be promoted to this rank. At that time, the Japanese army's military rank establishment squad leader was also called the squad leader, which was the rank of military cao or army commander; The deputy leader of the squad is Cao Chang or Jun Cao rank; The squad leader is a lieutenant or second lieutenant rank; A squadron leader is a captain or lieutenant rank; The captain of the group is a junior or captain rank; The deputy wing commander is a lieutenant or junior commander; The wing commander is a large or middle saddle rank; The brigade commander is a major general or a large general, and the division commander and the commander of the front army are lieutenant generals; The corps commander is with the rank of general; The Chief of the Army General Staff is of the rank of General or Lieutenant General; The Minister of War is the rank of marshal or general.

"That bastard probably can't stand the loneliness, climb on the belly of a flower girl, what can he do?" As he spoke, he put away his guns, and his soldiers also put down their guns, and Togawa Hideyoshi lit a cigarette for each of them.

"Hey, working here is no better than the warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army." He seemed to admire Asano and them between the words, and then seemed to be surprised and asked, "Asano Juncao is still here so late?" ”

"It's not these materials yet, in order to ensure the safety of the materials, Your Excellency the team leader has set up two secret posts nearby in the past few days, and it will be my turn to be on duty here tonight."

"Oh, I see, then Your Excellency Asano has worked hard, why don't I go and prepare some supper for a few imperial soldiers?"

Togawa Hideyoshi's information said that he was from Nagasaki, and it was confirmed by the intelligence department, so Asano did not suspect it, and said gratefully: "Then thank Togawa-kun, there are four more in front of us here, a total of nine people." ”

Togawa Hideyoshi soon returned with food, Asano recruited four other people who were hiding in the shadows, and several people ate happily, Asano thanked him again, and Togawa took the opportunity to learn the location of another secret post in the name of sending supper to another secret post. The police team behind Togawa quickly dealt with Asano and the others, Asano stared at Togawa in disbelief, and pointed his finger at Togawa when he fell, but he couldn't make a sound.

The police team behind Togawa was disguised by the brute bear with a few people, and in the same way to solve another wave of dark sentinels, the brute bear sighed, if it wasn't for Togawa Hideyoshi, he attacked rashly and fell into the eyes of the Japanese secret sentinel, he would not be able to detect. The Japanese army guarding the materials is indeed cautious, the two waves of secret posts are hidden, and each of them is divided into two positions to echo each other, as long as a position finds the situation, it will send a signal, the large army will be aware, and then according to the fortifications of the guards, the attackers will be fired back in time.

The rest of the matter became simpler, after Togawa Hideyoshi took the wild bear and others to kill the Japanese guards from the back door, the large army quickly entered the inside of the guard team through the back door, and then the two disguised police squads shuttled back and forth, and soon solved the sleeping Japanese police guard team of nearly 80 people silently.

Then, Bison led his squad to attack a small detachment at the front gate, and Brute Bear led his squad to attack the remaining less than a squad and the Japanese squad leader stationed here. The identity of Hideyoshi Kawa was covered, and the Japanese troops at the main gate were successfully resolved without firing a shot.

The brute bear also successfully solved the Japanese squad and squad leader guarding the supplies, and looked at the supplies excitedly. Everyone was secretly refreshed, and with the cooperation of Togawa Hideyoshi, the battle was fought, and the task was successfully completed in less than an hour before a single shot was fired, and more than 50 Japanese soldiers and nearly 100 police guards were also resolved.

At the same time, Hideyoshi Togawa and his police team, after seeing the fighting qualities of the brute bear and others, asked to join in. After completing the task, Manxiong reported the situation to Lin Junxiong, who was anxiously waiting for the results, and when he saw Manxiong's brief report, he couldn't help but exclaim that it was great! It's so exciting! He immediately ordered to transport supplies to the port overnight, robbed the Japanese merchant ships in the port, and transported the materials to Iriomote Island. At the same time, it is necessary to select two excellent team members to assist Togawa Hideyoshi in escorting, and then stay on Iriomote Island to help train.

The brute bear planned to wait for an opportunity to eliminate the Japanese squadron that had come to accept the escort supplies, but Lin Junxiong just asked him to plan carefully and put safety first.

There are only more than ten Japanese police officers guarding Ishigaki Port, and it is just a piece of cake for the brute bears, who can load all the supplies after grabbing two small Japanese merchant ships. Then Hayashi Shuo and Togawa Hideyoshi set sail with two merchant ships, and the brute bear returned to the police guard to prepare for the attack on the incoming squadron of the Japanese army.

The name "Ishigaki" is said to have been given to protect the island from typhoons, and the houses on the island are surrounded by stone walls.

The bear ordered the team to immediately block the main traffic road to avoid leaking information. Then he and the bison studied the map overnight, and finally determined that the ambush site was located in Ishigaki Village, three kilometers outside Ishigaki Town. Ambush outside the village, then bring the enemy into Ishigaki Village, and fight and retreat according to the stone walls in the village.

Rushed to accept the escort of the materials of the Big Bear Asahide squadron, Ishigaki Town's original squad of more than 50 people also belonged to his squadron, when there was still a day and a half away from Ishigaki Town, received a telegram from Murakami Takeyoshi, the materials have been intercepted by the "bandits", rushed to Ishigaki Town, find the whereabouts of the materials, eliminate the "bandits" in Ishigaki Town, and the head of Koto will rush to reinforcements.

Because the supplies were quietly sent away overnight, and the robbery of merchant ships was done clean, Murakami Takeshi still thought that the supplies were somewhere in Ishigaki Town, and it is estimated that he never dreamed that the supplies were about to arrive on Iriomote Island.

Murakami Takeyoshi, who was probably numbed by the continuous rush of anger, calmed down and ordered his troops to advance, occupy the Kogaku Pass and advance another 10 kilometers, arrange defenses according to the dangerous position, and at the same time order, at all costs, to build the road to the Kogaku Pass within ten days.

At the same time, the bear and the bison were discussing with the head of Ishigaki Village to let the villagers hide in a safe place for the time being. It is said that after the fall of the Ryukyus, the Japanese army frantically suppressed and killed the people of the Ryukyus in Shuri, and this branch left Shuri and came to Ishigaki Island to establish Ishigaki Village, which has been 40 years ago.

The wild bear told the village chief Xiang Huaying about the Mingyue Village Xiang Zongming in detail, and Xiang Huaying felt all the time after hearing it, the country was ruined, and he was wandering around just to survive, but if the mountains and rivers were not revived one day, survival would only become more and more difficult. Thinking of the bloody revenge of the Japanese army, the brute bear told Hua Ying about the situation of Naha's bloody moon in August this year, and turned around to leave with the bison to find other ambush sites.

Before they went out, Xiang Huaying seemed to see that they were ready to give up their intention to block the Japanese army based on Ishigaki Village, so he stopped the two and said that he decided to take the villagers to Iriomote Island to continue the family tradition of the Xiang family with Xiang Zongming, fight against Japan, and contribute to the recovery war of the Ryukyus.

Xiang Huaying's prestige in the village was very high, no one consulted with anyone, and no one came forward to question, less than two hours after Xiang Huaying ordered to pack up valuables and prepare to leave Ishigaki Island, the whole village packed up, gathered to wait for Xiang Huaying's order, Xiang Huaying said loudly: "The Xiang clan is a Ryukyu clan, and there was a heroic soul like Xiang Dehong, now ignite our family heritage, ignite the red blood of our loyalty, and embark on the road of fighting for the recovery of the Ryukyus and the freedom of the people from today, and swear to die and never return!" ”

Four or five hundred villagers shouted in unison, as if the blood of heroes in their hearts had been ignited: "Fight for the recovery of the Ryukyus and the freedom of the people, and swear to the death!" ”

When the wild bear and the bison saw this scene, their hearts were full of excitement and emotion, this is the descendants of the heroic family, they have the heroic spirit of their ancestors in their chests, they all have a family tradition of loyalty and blood, they will be the strongest backing for the recovery of the Ryukyus and the people's freedom war.

The people are the guarantor of winning wars. The Xiang family is the beginning of the awakening of the Ryukyu people from the slumber of enslavement, and in the future, many people in their family may fall on the road to fight for the recovery of the Ryukyus and the freedom of the people, but they will definitely go forward and leave a strong mark in the history of the liberation of the Ryukyus.

Xiang Huaying knew the urgency of time, and without too many words, he led the villagers to walk forward firmly. The bears and bison gathered in a procession and gave a military salute to this lovely and respectable group. The villagers admired this heroic team as they walked, and from this moment on, this team would be their children's soldiers, and it was their hope. There are also some young people who look at this team with envy, and vow in their hearts to join in as soon as possible and fight without hesitation for the ideal goal.

Watching the villagers leave, the brute bear walked to the front of the team and said loudly: "They are a group of lovely and respectable people, and they will also be our strong backing for long-term resistance against Japan, in order for them to leave smoothly, from now on, we must hold out for two days, even if we fight to the last man, we must not retreat." ”

The team members were all in high spirits and said, "Promise to complete the mission!" ”

The bear ordered Bison to lead his team to prepare for an attack in Ishigaki Village, and he himself led his team to an ambush on a high ground outside Ishigaki Village.
