Chapter Ninety-Six: Takeshita is depressed

The devil who looks like an officer is none other than Takeshita.

Medium-height, sturdy, with a bit of a Rendan beard on his mouth, he looks a little weird, and his two eyes like to instigate around, showing an uneasy gaze towards everyone, suspicious but always hidden in his heart with a deep bushido spirit.

Last time, under the order of Nishijima, he successfully went around the rear of the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army, eliminated a group of New Fourth Army sent by Lao Yang to support, and took the opportunity to eliminate the guerrillas gathered on the riverside waiting for the support troops to respond.

However, all the people who crossed the river in Nishijima were broken jade from the Japanese Empire, and Takeshita was in a sad mood, and Nishijima's body has not been found until now. Being able to find Nishijima's severed hand and war knife on the bamboo raft, and seeing the war horse in a pool of blood on the riverside, he knew very well in his heart that Nishijima's burial in the river may have become food for the fish's mouth.

It hurts to think about it. Although Nishijima didn't use him too much, Takeshita respected and admired Nishijima because he was Yokoyama's superior to Nishijima. As for Nishijima's unforgettable hatred of the Chinese, and having heard Nishijima talk about the death of his parents, he can understand and support the hatred of the Chinese. He knew that in Nishijima's heart, war was not only killing, but also a bloody hatred. Takeshita also deeply knows that this is the result of the bushido education of the Great Japanese Empire.

Under the influence of Xidao, he also hated the Chinese, especially when he carried out the first phase of the "Jiangnan Annihilation War" with Xidao to attack the Nationalist army outside Nanxian County, he encountered the stubborn resistance of the Chinese soldiers who fought each other to the death, and he was almost killed by the Nationalist army, which deepened his hatred of the Chinese.

Nishijima is dead, Matsuo is dead, and he has to hold up this stall. After placing the remains of the soldiers, the ashes of Nishijima's severed arms were packed in Sakurako's urn and stored together, and then transported back to Wuhan when there was a chance, and then transported back to their homeland with the ship returning to China.

After doing these things in an unhappy and dull mood, he sat down and sorted out his thoughts. He first told Yokoyama about Nishijima, and the other party didn't make a sound for a long time.

Takeshita knew that Yokoyama was immersed in the grief of losing Nishijima, and he said, "Your Excellency, I'm sorry that I'm guilty of not protecting Nishijima-kun. ”

Isamu Yokoyama stabilized his emotions a little, held the microphone and said to Takeshita: "Takeshita-kun, this is war, the brave wins, the weak lose, and you can't resist." You don't blame yourself either, it's not your fault. ”

To be honest, although Yokoyama has achieved a victory that he is proud of since he occupied Changsha and then attacked Hengyang, there are some delicate relationships between him and Okamura Ninji and Shunroku Hata that make Yokoyama very unhappy.

According to the instructions of the base camp, the commander of the dispatch army, Shunroku Hata ordered him to stick to Changde but was refused, and actively disobeyed, and finally forced the command of the dispatch army to withdraw the order, so angry that Shunroku Hata scolded Isamu Yokoyama for being a pig.

Isamu Yokoyama is a very autonomous guy, and he is also very conceited, and he has power and troops. When the base camp and the Chinese Dispatch Army decided to form a 6th Front Army, I asked him for his opinion, and Isamu Yokoyama replied: "It is very necessary, just upgrade the 11th Army." "It's clear that Isamu Yokoyama wants to be the commander of the front. However, in the official order, the commander's name was not Isamu Yokoyama, but Ninji Okamura, so he was dissatisfied.

Listen to Takeshita on the other end of the phone shouting, "Your Excellency, are you still there?" When Yokoyama came back to his senses from his thoughts, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he no longer thought about these nerve-wracking things, he straightened the mirror and asked Takeshita on the other end of the phone with concern: "Takeshita-kun, what difficulties do you have?" ”

Takeshita was overjoyed, and without thinking about it, he said his wish: "I want you to increase the army"

"This is impossible, you don't know, the Battle of Changsha, the Battle of Hengyang, the troops have lost a lot, and now they have just ended the Battle of Guilin, and they can't draw it out, well, so let's do it, I will send an Imperial Army to assist you, how about it?" Isamu Yokoyama flatly rejected his request.

"Chinese?" Takeshita was a little disappointed when he heard this, and he said, "Your Excellency, can the Imperial Association Army do it?" They are Chinese. ”

Isamu Yokoyama could hear his displeasure in Takeshita's tone, and he said, "Takeshita-kun, don't worry too much, use razing to defeat raze, in this kind of increasingly difficult and difficult days of war, this is the only way, you know?" In fact, the whole situation of the war is extremely unfavorable to our Great Japanese Empire, but we must not stop there, and we must faithfully fulfill the sacred task given to us by the Emperor, that is, to realize the common prosperity of Greater East Asia at an early date. Alas, Nishijima-kun, I think he suffered a loss because he didn't need the assistance of the imperial army, so that he couldn't find his direction like a fly without a head, I hope you can learn from this and make good use of the Chinese, they are all our slaves, you have to make them obey orders and obey the orders of the imperial army, you know? ”

"Yes." Despite the slightest hesitation, Takeshita replied dryly. He thought in his heart, maybe Xidao did not have the cooperation of the imperial army to lead to this, he can speak Chinese, understand some Chinese, and is not afraid that the Chinese will play tricks in front of him.

"Also, try to sit and wait in the city, there is no major event, don't go out of the city easily, just guard the order on the river. Waiting for us to return triumphantly. ”

"Yes." Takeshita knew that his manpower was too small, and in such a city, he was afraid that it would be difficult to sustain himself for a long time by relying on these people, and he didn't know that the New Fourth Army would eat them all in one pot when he came. For several days, he was looking forward to the people sent from above, whether it was his own people or the Imperial Army, he would be relieved.

He will not learn from the West Island not the Chinese.

However, people did not wait, but waited for the air battle between the American plane and the national plane in the air, he saw it clearly, and took his soldiers to cheer for the Japanese pilots in the air, when the American plane shot down his own plane, he was so angry that he screamed, stunned there and didn't know what to do, fortunately a soldier next to him reminded him, he came back to his senses, and took a few soldiers to drive a motorboat across the river, to pick up the pilot who was beaten down, but he didn't expect to get on the motorboat by the dock, They heard the gunshots coming from the riverside, and he looked at the opposite side, as if someone was on the opposite side, and when he looked at it with a telescope, he saw clearly that it was the pilot who was holding a shirtless Chinese and shooting at a grass house.

Looking towards the room again, I saw a person coming in and out, as if he was deliberately teasing the pilot to shoot, Takeshita was a little annoyed, he ordered to go at full speed, but when they came ashore, Lu Gang and they had already retreated into the mountains and forests without a trace.

The pilot he found was a corpse lying on the ground, and with a groan, he pulled out his gun and fired a few bullets at the woods, and the other devils followed his example and fired into the woods.

"Do you want to chase it?" A devil asked Takeshita.

Takeshita looked at it, shook his head and said: "Don't chase it, it seems that the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army have not been completely wiped out, and a few of us rushed in, only looking for death, leaving, and carrying him back." ”

The devil carried the pilot to the motorboat and returned to the city.

Takeshita was not idle, and called Isamu Yokoyama again.

"Your Excellency, one of our pilots was killed." Takeshita told Isamu Yokoyama.

Yokoyama was taken aback: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Takeshita told Isamu Yokoyama what he had seen.

Yokoyama Yong said for a long time: "He is our hero, you have to put him well." ”

"Yes. Also, General, I see that there is still the New Fourth Army on the opposite hill. ”

When Yokoyama heard this, he said, "The New Fourth Army? Didn't you say that day you would wipe them all out? How did it appear again? ”

"I don't know. Checkmate. Takeshita said.

"Don't know? If you don't know, you have to figure it out, whether it's a large army or a small group of guerrillas, you have to figure it out, and then completely eliminate them, understand? Isamu Yokoyama said fiercely.

"General, but I don't have enough people. Do you want to send troops over and then go and destroy them? Takeshita asked cautiously.

Yokoyama thought for a while and said, "Well, okay, I'll tell them to go in the last few days." Remember, it is imperative to deal with and eliminate these New Fourth Armies as soon as possible in order to ensure the safety of the transportation lines. ”

"Yes." Takeshita agreed and put down the microphone.

Yokoyama Yong asked him to find out the New Fourth Army on the mountain, he didn't dare to go, the mountain was so big, he was so many, he was a little afraid of taking risks, if there was a large army there, wouldn't it be to send meat to the chopping board. He's not that stupid.

Even if the guerrillas are scattered, it is not easy to deal with, he knows the way the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army fight, not to mention taking his own soldiers to sweep, they are in the dark, they are in the light, and the one who is hurt must be himself, and it is impossible to leave no one in the city to guard, if the New Fourth Army comes to outflank, won't he become a lost dog with no home? He's not that stupid.

He made up his mind to stay in the city and never take half a step, and when he was bored, he came to the teahouse owner to drink a sip of tea, and sometimes talked with the teahouse owner and asked about some of the customs here. Just passed the time, waiting for the soldiers sent by Isamu Yokoyama. But the reinforcements did not come, but two Chinese came to him.

When the devil gave him the note with the New Fourth Army written on it, his eyes widened and he looked at the devil in front of him inexplicably. The devil said: "Two Chinese came outside, said they wanted to see you, at first we didn't agree, and now this is sent again, I don't know what they mean?" ”

"It's clear, they're telling me that there's a New Fourth Army. Call them in. Takeshita said.

"Hey." The devil agreed to go out and lead the gang leader and the thin man to Takeshita's office.

Takeshita stared at the two of them, and saw that the thin man didn't know what to do, and stood there laughing. The gang leader didn't stand there straight like a thin man, and he also looked at Takeshita's lower nose and hugged Ren Danhu, wanting to laugh but not laughing.

Takeshita turned around and picked up the note on the table and held it in front of them, and spoke, "What does this mean?" ”

The thin man hurriedly said: "The New Fourth Army, we have the New Fourth Army on the mountain. ”

Takeshita saw him stop and said, "Go on." ”

Then the thin man said, "Five men and one woman." There was a man who took the American pilot on a boat for the first two days, and he didn't know where they went. ”

"What? There are only a few in the New Fourth Army? Takeshita couldn't believe the thin man's words, and turned his head to look at the horse gang leader, hoping that the horse gang leader would confirm it.

Seeing this, the gang leader nodded and said, "That's right, that's all." ”

"Why are you telling me this?" Takeshita was a little skeptical of their words.

"They're going to kill us." The thin man said in front of the gang leader.

"Kill you, so you came to me to kill them? Is it? Takeshita said with a smile.

"Yes. They have come into the city. ”

"What? You say they're in town? Did you see that? Takeshita asked them a little nervously.

The thin man said, "Yes, I and the gang leader have seen it, there are four of them. ”

"Where are they now?" Takeshita asked.

"At Hengyuan Hotel." The horse gang leader said.

"Come on, gather, the departure of Hengyuan Hotel." Takeshita gave the order. However, they pounced. Takeshita, who was suspicious by nature, gritted his teeth and glared at the horse gang leader and the thin man, and suddenly shouted: "Baga, lie to the imperial army." After saying that, he drew his pistol and pointed it at the horse gang leader, and the other devils also raised their guns and pointed them at the same time.
