Chapter 115: Are You Ready?
"Are you all ready?" After the last bit of flame burned, the golden light brushed away the ashes from his hands, and the resolute and cold contours of his face made him look like an iron man.
"Yes, sir, you're all ready." Someone in the queue answered.
"Bring it up!" Suicide notes, diaries, and personal belongings were quickly gathered together, and most of the soldiers were silent when they handed over their things, and of course some of them had words in their mouths, as if they wanted to incorporate everything they wanted to say into these objects and take them home so that their relatives could hear them.
"Let you break through and go down the mountain, report to your superiors on behalf of the Lameng defenders on the battles that have taken place so far, submit the deeds of the meritorious soldiers, and at the same time transfer the relics of the officers and soldiers to their families one by one." Jin Guangzhao said lightly to a lieutenant named Kinoshita.
Lieutenant Kinoshita stood for a long time before he saluted with tears in his eyes and began to pack his things. Matsuyama has long been surrounded into an iron bucket, and it takes more courage to break through than to stay, and he knows what he is bearing.
"Shaozuo, my people will go with you." A deep voice rang out behind him.
Jin Guang didn't look back, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Captain Mushu, you're finally willing to let go of your stubbornness. ”
"Only Miyazaki goes, we don't go." Kiki pushed Miyazaki Fukaguchi to the front.
Jin Guang was slightly stunned, and then sighed silently.
Carrying two bags of soldiers' belongings on their backs, Fukaguchi Miyazaki and Lieutenant Kinoshita climbed down the cliff in the early hours of the morning and dived into the vast forest. Before being lowered by the rope from the cliff pass, Miyazaki looked at Kiki for a long time and said with a complicated expression, "Captain, have you really thought it through?" ”
"Our mission is not complete, I can't go." Mu Shu smiled, "With the scorpion here, I won't be alone." ”
The scorpion next to him was still silent, and his sunken eyes shone like a wolf.
"If I can go back alive, I will explain everything to the Tokyo Military Department." In the end, Miyazaki didn't say anything more, and at the moment when he was hung off the cliff, Kiki saw this freak who had always been vicious and ruthless, and could kill people with his mouth, and shed tears.
Miyazaki himself proposed to break through and descend the mountain, and Kiki understood that he wanted more than just his life to stay.
In Matsuyama, both the Chinese and the Japanese put in the greatest effort and sacrifice. Any loser will go to death, decay, or even stay here forever, becoming part of the soil of the mountains. The battle situation has reached this point, the situation is already obvious, Mu Shu is ready to meet death, Scorpion is ready to meet death, Scorpion, Jinguang Shaozo and other soldiers are naturally the same.
But on Matsuyama, it's not just men.
When Jin Guang Shaozo walked down the lower floor of the bunker, the sound of hurried footsteps made the comfort women extremely uneasy, because they were weakened by the lack of food for a long time, they could no longer make much of a move, and could only exchange frightened glances with each other.
After seeing Jin Guang Shaozuo, these women could finally breathe a sigh of relief, the commander in their eyes was not injured or bleeding, and although his face was ugly, there were no traces of the battle he had just fought on his body.
"I thought it was Chinese called...... Huanzi whispered in the corner, hunger making her gasp for breath.
"Are you afraid of those Chinese soldiers?" Jin Guang Shaozuo asked coldly.
"We are afraid that we will fall into the hands of the enemy and bring shame on the empire before we have time to hit the road." Huanzi smiled weakly.
A simple sentence was more shocking than the sound of a cannonball exploding, and Jin Guang Shaozuo could hardly believe his ears.
After the lack of food, these people sometimes survive by eating the corpses of the dead. However, women are women after all, and the comfort women refused to eat human flesh, and they were already dying of hunger. Jin Guang Shaozuo is not a fool, he naturally understands the meaning of Huan Zi's words, and at this moment, looking at the eyes cast by the pairs, his heart fluctuates.
"I'm here to tell you that as soon as the morning dawns, you should hurry down the mountain, this is a man's war." Shao Zuo's eyes quickly returned to steely coldness, "You have already done what you should do, we haven't done it yet, so, while it's still time, hurry up and run for your life!" ”
"Shaozuo, we won't go down the mountain." Huanzi's voice was soft, but resolute.
"Soldiers must die according to the emperor's orders, and you are not soldiers, you are women!"
"I'm a Japanese woman, and so are a few of them." Huanzi bowed deeply to Shaozuo, "I came here to help the soldiers fight, my family died here, I want to die with them, with other Japanese soldiers, please!" ”
A few more women stood up with each other in their arms, shouting: "If we don't go, the women of the Great Japanese Empire will not bow to the enemy even if they die!" ”
Jin Guang Shaozuo couldn't say anything anymore, and his teeth were gritted. Suddenly, he raised his hand and wanted to slap Huanzi, but in the end he still held the ill-fated woman in his arms and hugged him tightly.
Is this really a war it should be? Kimguang asked himself for the first time. The vivid and weak body in his arms made him feel how precious life was like never before.
An hour later, eight North Korean and Chinese comfort women walked down the mountain with white flags. Six Japanese women remained, in the doomed position, with their men, waiting for the final moments of their lives.
"What are you thinking?" At the same moment, somewhere in the position, someone struck a match, breaking a little light in the darkness.
"Home." Mu Shu said.
The scorpion was shocked by this unexpected answer, and he had the impression that any kind of emotion that could be classified as weakness should not be present in the wooden tree.
"My father and mother are old, and I miss them very much." Looking at the dim ridge line in the distance, Mu Shu was stunned, "At this time, they must have slept." ”
"Why don't you get out of here?" The scorpion took a deep breath of his cigarette and asked again in the mist.
"I've already said why."
"That's just an excuse." The scorpion sneered, "Actually, you, like me, want to cut off that Chinese's head with your own hands." ”
"Maybe......" Kiki didn't seem to want to continue the topic, "What about yourself?" And why not go with Miyazaki? ”
"I don't have a home, I've been alone since I was a child, and it's the same for me wherever I die." The scorpion is as if nothing happened.
Mu Shu was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "You may not be a good person, but you are a real man. ”
The scorpion was stunned, lowered his head, and lightly rubbed the red cigarette butt with his fingers, "Captain, I have always refused to obey you, you know, so many people died in the Mushu team, I always felt that it was all your fault, and later, when the mountains and fields were listed in front of me, I knew that many things were beyond the control of an individual." You've done enough, and I'm like a complaining......"
"It doesn't matter, it's all in the past." Mu Shu interrupted him, and his tone became more peaceful, "Next, no matter what awaits us in front of us, we will face it together, death is not important, the important thing is that we made the right choice and are worthy of this military uniform." ”
"Yes!" In the darkness, the scorpion clenched its fists.
