Chapter 1003: The Ghost of the Territory

Jin Guang still didn't complain, but the pressure he was under was undoubtedly far greater than anyone else's. These days, he has hardly slept anymore, commanding the defense when China is offensive, observing the enemy's situation and inspecting the guards and patrols during the interval between the fighting, and the number of casualties is increasing day by day, and his face is becoming more and more gloomy. The Chinese offensive launched in the afternoon was the most ferocious since the beginning of the war, and if it weren't for Miyazaki's words, I am afraid that the high ground would not be too far away now, if not occupied by the Chinese army.

Miyazaki did not look at the position maps and civil engineering materials in vain, and he suggested that the defenders of the sub-highlands should all hide in their bunkers, do not make any defensive resistance in any situation, and let the Chinese army rush to the main peak, and then let the few remaining cannons of Rolling Dragon Slope launch indiscriminate artillery fire to cover them. This is tantamount to bombarding his own position with his own artillery, but unlike the last strike order of Jinguang Shaoza against the Yin Mountain, Miyazaki wanted to rely on the absolute solidity of the fortifications to resist artillery fire, so as to achieve the goal of repelling the enemy without injuring a single soldier.

After listening to his explanation, Jin Guang simply asked: "If you do this, do you think the ammunition of the field artillery squadron can last for a few days?" ”

"In this situation, I feel that as long as I can live one more day, I will already earn it." Miyazaki's answer was equally concise.

The shelling came as scheduled, and the entire main peak of Songshan trembled under the power of killing and wounding, and the corpses of Chinese soldiers covered the entire sub-highland, and the offensive collapsed. Since the 8th Army took over from the 71st Army as the main attacker, the ferocity of the troops in battle was markedly different, and any member of the Ramon garrison knew that the Chinese were already red-eyed and hated to raze Songshan to the ground with their teeth, so their counterattack was even more stubborn.

As the brainchild of Kimura's team, Miyazaki's tactical proposals are actually very targeted, he sees the pros and cons of both the offensive and defensive sides at a glance, and he is bold and careful, striving to exchange the maximum losses of the enemy at the minimum cost. This staff officer, who has an out-of-proportion body and always looks like a head bigger than his body, makes Jin Guang Shaozo have to change his opinion of the Kimura team. After the war, he even began to inevitably fantasize that if the airdrop supplies could be in place and the ammunition reserves were sufficient and sufficient, then such artillery assistance alone would be enough to give the Chinese a headache for a long time.

Of course, the distance between hope and reality is always greater than imagined.

Miyazaki is undoubtedly more calm and rational than others, and he has persuaded Kimura to leave Matsuyama more than once, but the latter's response has always disappointed him. And today, even if you want to leave, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

Yamano didn't close his eyes until he died, and the only three people left in Kimura's team sat beside him, and the scorpion's face was whiter than death, as if he was the corpse.

"When I first met Yamano, he was only twelve years old. Yamano's father was a native of Akagi, a fellow countryman of mine, who enlisted in the army very early and later died in the Pacific Theater. When I went home that year to visit my family, the grass on his grave was already very thick. Yamano's mother died early, and after his father died, there was only one left, so I took him back to the barracks and hung up a place for duty. I did it because he could eat next to me, and he could eat well, and I had never taken him into battle......"

When Kimura finally spoke, the scorpion on the side unconsciously clenched his fists. Two people go out and come back alone, which in itself means a shame, and after bringing back Ono's body, he has never explained anything, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to explain anything.

Kimura didn't look at him, and continued to say flatly: "Yamano asked to enlist in the army by himself, the war situation at that time was very tight, the empire needed a large number of conscripts, and age was no longer a problem. I still kept him in the forward team and taught him everything I could, he was a smart kid with a lot of talent in shooting and he could work hard.

Once, when the Stand Up team was sent on a mission, he signed up without telling me. It was in Singapore, and the British were resisting at first, and I heard that he had killed quite a few people there, and he didn't act like a recruit at all. When Yamano came back, I was furious, but he replied that he wanted to become a real soldier as soon as possible, just like his father and me. ”

"I don't regret bringing Yamano to Myanmar, everyone has their own way to go, his choice is to live like a soldier and die like a soldier, I am proud of him." Kimura slowly turned his gaze to the people around him, "In some things, I may be a little too bossy, Miyazaki, the last thing I can let go of is responsibility, and what you want me to let go of the most is precisely responsibility, you often tell me, let me live for myself, this is the most real, I know that is good intentions, thank you very much, Scorpion, Yamano's death, you don't have to blame yourself too much, you have done your best." The unfinished business of the Kimura team is up to me, so you and Miyazaki can go down the mountain! ”

"What?!" The scorpion was taken aback, and Miyazaki was also slightly moved.

"I insist that it is just my personal belief that our opponent will stay in Matsuyama, and he must be the same as me. The war has turned us all into exotic ghosts, and you are not ghosts yet, so you should go. Kimura stood up, took one last look at the dead mountain field, and smoothed his eyelids for him, "I will also participate in the garrison raid tonight, you guys prepare and take advantage of the chaos to get out of the mountain." ”

"Captain, I won't go, playing with guns I am not the opponent of the Chinese, playing with knives may not be!" Scorpion Huo Ran stood up, his eyes already lit up with a fierce light, "I'm not afraid of death when I come back, but I don't want to die in vain, if I have a chance to kill him, I won't give up, tonight's raid, I can go and cut his head back by the way!" ”

Kimura looked at the scorpion for a long time, until the other party saw something that could really be called "stubborn" in his eyes, and then turned his gaze to Miyazaki, "What about you?" ”

Miyazaki habitually pushed his glasses and said slowly, "I won't go if it's just me." Well, I won't be in the operation tonight, or I'll hold you back. ”

The response of the two made Kimura frown, and he was about to say something, but Miyazaki lightly threw out another sentence: "Captain, I want you to live a little bit of self and be real, but I also know that in this world, there are never many people who can do it." ”

"Serve the Emperor and fight for the Empire!" A neat, muffled roar was coming from the upper floors of the bunker.

The temporary addition of Kimura and Scorpion made the twenty soldiers drawn from Zigaochi excited, and at the same time, it exceeded Jinguang's expectations. The signal corps sent a report to the headquarters of the 56th Division on the decision of the captain of the Kimura squad, but the feedback was that Myitkyina had been lost and there was no hope of delaying the army.
