|.| Chapter 8: The Fighting Machine (7 Parts)

In the case of not being able to judge the enemy's reaction. Choose only what is beneficial to you to do. This is one of the many command tricks that Zhang Songling learned from Lao Gou's side. All the time in the Twenty-Sixth Route Secret Service adds up to a few months. But those months allowed him to complete the transformation from a hot-blooded boy to a veteran on the battlefield. It can be said that . Zhang Songling's whole life. were greatly affected by those months. It's just that he doesn't realize it right now.

Compared to his current calmness. The performance of Junji Fujita, the consultant of Kuroishizhai, can be described as crazy. After receiving the news of the defeat brought back by the rout. His first instinct was to order the nine bandits who had run back to report the news to be tied up to the riverside. Shot in public. Then he rounded his arms. According to the two Japanese soldiers who escaped death. It's a big slap in the face.

"Bastard. Scraps. How do you still have the courage to come back? Why don't you guys go for a caesarean section. I won't defend the honor of the emperor." While pumping. Junji Fujita shouted and cursed. It's like a mad dog that has just been pinched off his testicles. The two soldiers, who were already wounded, did not dare to dodge. I don't dare to defend it. The upright body struggles to support. In their pathetic minds. If you lose the battle, you should be severely punished by military law. Chief Fujita didn't tie the two of them to the river with the horse thief and shoot them to feed the fish. It's already extrajudicial. As for what dignity is not dignified. That's something that only the living are qualified to maintain. Dead people never get a chance to think about it.

"Bastard! Scraps. Idiots who waste food." See two soldiers in a posture that can be disposed of in any way except to die. Junji Fujita felt more and more angry. Use a small force to supervise horse thieves to exterminate Chinese snipers. It was after he received a few small groups of horse thieves early this morning. Temporary changes intended to be made on the original plan. I thought it was a bunch of cannon fodder that fell from the sky. I can save a little face for myself. Who expected that the first team to return would not prove his insight. On the contrary, the prestige that was already left fell to the bottom again.

The more I feel that I am no longer supported by the devil soldiers under my command. Junji Fujita just wanted to use brutal means to maintain his prestige in this army. The other devil soldiers in the camp saw him and began to "go crazy" again, and most of them took the initiative to hide far away. lest you suffer from the fish in the pond. It was definitely not just the two unlucky guys who had just escaped who were slapped by Junji Fujita this morning. Toshi Hamasaki, a technician in charge of maintaining the car, was unable to get the car back to normal for a long time. Has been beaten at least three times. The whole head is now swollen like a pig's head. But he still has to continue to lie under the car and suffer. Otherwise. The fourth beating was about to fall on him soon.

The only one who wasn't scared into hiding was Takaaki Sakai. After last night's extraordinary play. He has faintly squeezed into the ranks of Junji Fujita's henchmen. This opportunity to turn over is too rare. He didn't want to throw it away easily. In line with the principle that the greater the risk, the greater the return. He slowly took a few steps forward. Hide outside Junji Fujita's attack range. Said cautiously, "Sir. Chief Fujita. There are several problems with the subordinates. I want to ask Mitsui-kun and Matsushita-kun. I don't know if the chief can wait for his subordinates to finish asking. and then decide how to punish them.."

"You. . . There is a question to ask.." Junji Fujita jerked his head towards Takaaki Sakai. The eyes were full of contempt. The reason why he announced last night that he was going to reward the other party heavily. Largely to set an example for others to see. Rather than really thinking that this person has any extraordinary insight. If you really have the ability. This person will not be in the Kwantung Army for five or six years. But the more mixed it is, the lower the position. In the end, it was simply distributed to the grassland.

"Yes. Right. Right. The subordinate suddenly remembered a few questions. I want to know one or two through Mitsui-kun and Matsushita-kun. If you disturb the sir. Thank you for your understanding." Although being severely damaged by the gaze of Junji Fujita seriously damaged his self-esteem. Takaaki Sakai still bowed deeply. to show that you really need the other party to make it easier.

"Hmm.." Junji Fujita frowned and groaned. Although I don't quite believe in Sakai's ability. only to find that this person actually provided himself with a very good step. Otherwise. Keep fighting. At most, he seriously injured Private Mitsui and Private Matsushita. But it doesn't solve any problems. It's even more impossible to run back because of a defeat. So he tied them up like horse thieves and made an example of them. The Empire's soldier resources are invaluable. At the moment, it is simply not enough to meet the security needs of the newly conquered territories. Blackstone Village can have more than half of the squadron stationed. Or did he come here with a lot of connections. If you shoot the two-legged animal that you managed to get your hands on. It's definitely a loss-making deal not to mention. The news came back to the Kwantung Army. It will also leave a bad impression on those who do not value the lives of their brothers. I would like to apply for reinforcement in the future. It's getting more and more difficult.

A little weighing. Junji Fujita knew whether he should comply with Takaaki Sakai's request. Pretend to care about the other person's feelings. Frowning in response. All right. I'll give you these two scraps for interrogation. You two. Remember to answer Sakai's questions truthfully. Otherwise. Don't blame me for being strict about military discipline."

"Hay."" Hi Yi." The two devil soldiers were pardoned. Bow deeply at Junji Fujita. Raise your head and look at Takaaki Sakai. His eyes were full of gratitude." Chief Sakai. Do you have any questions just ask. We will definitely answer seriously."

Say it. Two more ninety-degree bows in succession. I'm afraid Sakai Takaaki will be a little dissatisfied. and handed them back to the devil Junji Fujita.

"Mitsui-kun, Matsushita-kun. You two don't have to be too nervous." Takaaki Sakai enjoys the gratitude that others have for him. Seriously returned the bow. Said in an extremely soothing tone. There are three questions I would like to ask. First. How far away did you catch up with Irumo Ryu and the sniper surnamed Zhang.."

"I. We ....... "Neither Private Mitsui nor Private Matsushita could have imagined that the first question would be so simple. I hesitated for a while. I decided to tell the truth." Should. It should be about thirty miles. Wrong. At most, twenty-five miles. On the opposite bank of the river to the southeast. There's a grove over there. Iruyun Long and the two surnamed Zhang set up an ambush in the woods. We were unprepared. So ......"

"Alright. I see." Takaaki Sakai waved his hand. Interrupted by too many explanations from the two unlucky guys. The first question he asked was largely just to ease the tension between the two. I didn't really want to find out Zhang Songling. Both sides are cavalry. The guys who died out there. He must have also lost his mount to the one surnamed Zhang. Even if you can determine the other party's location now. Wait for the big army to chase and kill the past. The other party has long been unable to know how far he has run. There's no way to stop it.

Private Mitsui and Private Matsushita did not dare to disobey. They looked at each other. I swallowed all the extra explanations back into my stomach. Takaaki Sakai hesitated for a moment. Soon a second question was raised." Captain Ono was not at the first time of the war. He was shot and died. The leader of the gang of horse thieves. Isn't it similar to Ono Takesa. Shot on the spot by a sniper. There's no time to make any tactical adjustments."

It's already obvious to excuse the two unlucky guys. It is impossible not to reap the gratitude of the two. Quickly made eye contact. The two unlucky fellows bowed to Takaaki Sakai again." Sakai-kun. You. You're not wrong at all. That one. That sniper too. It's so vicious. Don't give Captain Ono a chance to issue orders at all."

"He. . . Light machine guns were also ambushed in the woods . Killed a small half of the horse thieves in the first place. Kawada-kun and Koyama-kun. It's also ......"

The stronger the enemy. The more forgivable your own failures seem. Two unlucky guys are clearly in the thick of this. Described incoherently. It doesn't matter if these words stand up to scrutiny.

knew that the answer of the two was seriously flooded. Sakai Takaaki doesn't poke it either. Smiled. Interrupted again in a low voice: "Alright. I'm clear about that. The third question is. How many people are there on their side. You two. Be sure to think it through. Answer me again."

"They. They ...... "Private Mitsui and Private Matsushita instinctively want to continue to exaggerate the facts. only to find that Sakai's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. I was so scared that I trembled in my heart. The lies that have reached the point of mouth have lost their coherence." They. They seem to have a lot of people. No. There are not a lot of people. No. Not much is it. It is very much. It's not ......"

"How many people are there?" Junji Fujita, who had been listening coldly to the side, also understood what Takaaki Sakai was going to do. Asked loudly with a calm face.

Seeing the top boss join in again. Private Mitsui and Private Matsushita panicked more and more. Keep your head down. Muttering in a gnat-like voice." Not a lot. Should. It shouldn't be a lot. How much. The two of us didn't see it clearly. It's not that we don't dare to look. It was Iruyun Long who took advantage of the time when everyone was stunned. Suddenly, he led someone to kill him from the side. Carrying a huge machete......"

The truth is already very clear. It hardly requires much imagination. Junji Fujita understands that the two unlucky ghosts in front of him are not unjustly lost. Jungle. Ambush. Frontal defense. Side sneak attack. Zhang Songling had used the same trick on Yellowbeard more than a month ago. also defeated the yellowbeard, who was almost victorious. Afterwards, Junji Fujita once deduced it privately. The same situation would have happened if the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire had changed. What will be the result. The answer made him very angry. Smashed a dozen teacups. only to ease the resentment in my heart a little. Such a combination of Ruyun Long and Zhang Songling. Almost exclusively for ambush warfare. A full-time sniper enemy commander. A full-time person responsible for taking advantage of the chaos to counter the charge. The more troops you have, the more powerful you are. With the same equipment and troop strength. There is almost no solution.

If so, come to it. There is no need to be too demanding of Private Mitsui and Private Panasonic too much. Sighing helplessly. Junji Fujita turned around and walked towards the car. There is no need to spend energy on the specific location of the surname Zhang and Ruyunlong. They're definitely coming to the door. It won't take long. Junji Fujita believes. I won't be wrong this time.

"Horse. It can be fixed. I. I've done my best. Tried my best. Sir. Sir, please give me another ten minutes. Just ten minutes. I promise. Guaranteed." Technical soldier Toshitoshi Hamasaki thinks that Junji Fujita is back to supervise his work. I'm so scared that I don't know where I'm going. A wheeling wheel emerges from under the car. The red and swollen head hung and bowed incessantly.

"You fix it slowly." It was beyond his expectations. A few minutes ago, Junji Fujita was still fierce and vicious. Now suddenly it's a different person. Instead of reprimanding him for his inefficiency. Instead, reach out your hand. Took the initiative to remove a few sticks of hay stuck to his shoulders for him." Don't be in a hurry. The team is not busy pulling out today. You have plenty of time."

"I. I ...... "Toshiki Hamasaki has been treated with this kind of upscale treatment. Dengshi was so moved that he was so hot. The wound on my face doesn't hurt anymore. The thighs and calves are no longer trembling. Take a half step back. A 120-degree bow." Please rest assured, sir. Within an hour. I promise to get the car going. If you can't finish the job by then. I am willing to accept any punishment."

"There's no hurry. There's no hurry." Junji Fujita smiled and nodded at him. Turn your back and start your hands. Continue to inspect the other gangs and horse thieves in the camp. Send a combat team to lead the horse thief to take the initiative to search for the Chinese sniper and his companions. It was he who built on the strategy Sakai Takaaki offered last night. Now the brutal facts have been proven. The idea he came up with on the fly didn't work at all. Then he would simply take a step back. Focus on dealing with the sniper and his companions. Solve the troubles around you first. Then consider the issue of exterminating the Lamagou guerrillas. Anyway, in the past few days, the horse thieves who have rushed to Lama Gou have added more than six hundred people. with six times the strength of the partisans. Even if you can't take the guerrilla headquarters. At least the Redbeard can be dragged there. It's hard to move an inch.

"Sir!" Takaaki Sakai didn't know that his boss already had a better plan in mind. Catch up from behind. Nodding his head and preparing to give advice. Junji Fujita turned his head. Gave him a meaningful look. Preemptively said: "You go and inform all the officers above the second lieutenant level. Come to my tent for a meeting. We're going to kill that sniper today. Never again."

"Hay." Takaaki Sakai was stunned at first. Then respond quickly. Junji Fujita's thoughts. It is equivalent to completely overturning the marching plan that was just drawn up last night. Do so. It will undoubtedly make the morale of the army more and more confused. But he's just a little Cao Chang. Not qualified to challenge any decision of a young advocate. Especially in the case that this Shaozo may go berserk at any time. Self-preservation is undoubtedly the best choice. This. to him. The same for all junior officers.
