Chapter 5: The Naked Child (12 A)

Suddenly there was a surge of chanting. Kuniaki Kawada and the others looked at each other. They never realized it before. A bunch of numb and humble lackeys. There are also normal human emotions. But the shock lasted only a short moment. In the blink of an eye. They all turned their gaze to kneeling beside the body of the puppet head Yang Yaozu. On the body of the little lama who takes the lead in chanting. Keep nodding your head gently.

Ruthless enough. Bold enough. It's also insidious and cunning enough. actually took advantage of the opportunity to send Yang Yaozu on the road. In one fell swoop, he became the soul of this team. And at the moment. Three battalion commanders under Yang Yaozu. He actually just lowered his head and secretly wiped his tears. I didn't expect that someone had already set his sights on the position of the regiment commander that had just been vacated.

Such talents. The Empire of Japan has always been welcoming. Kodama first communicated with Shiro Shirakawa and Kuniaaki Kawada with their eyes. Then he walked slowly to the little lama. Gently press the person's shoulder with the palm of your hand." Captain Yang has washed away his shame with blood. I will supervise the Hung Yen Garrison Command. According to the treatment of the dead. Sympathize with his family."

"Thank you for your grace." The little lama was amazed and delighted. Turn back. The voice shouted exceptionally loudly.

"Thank you for your grace."" Thank you for your grace." Several officers of the garrison brigade who usually had a good relationship with Yang Yaozu also wiped their tears and came out of the ranks. Bow your head again and again at Kodama's end. Although there is also the pain of losing a loved one. For the wife of the pseudo-head Yang Yaozu . Treatment of the bereaved family of the deceased regimental commander. and the treatment of the families of executed deserters. but one is in heaven. One underground. The former can allow her to get a rather generous pension. Save some flowers a little. No worries about freezing or starvation for at least 10 years. And the latter. But she had nothing but a humiliating notice. Nothing else. will even be bullied by the pseudo-security chief and the first captain as an excuse.

"You're welcome. I'm just thinking that Yang Jun used to work quite hard. Take care of his family." Kodama waved her hand gently for the last time. deliberately pretended to be a Confucian general who was lenient and severe." Military law is ruthless. Since he has made a mistake. There is a corresponding price to pay. But work is work. Too much. The Imperial Army will not be guilty of his mistake this time. to ignore his previous contributions."

"Thank you for your grace."" Thank you for your grace." The little lama and a few officers of the garrison brigade who usually had a good relationship with Yang Yaozu bowed deeply again. I can't wait to get my heart out right away. Let Taijun see the loyalty engraved on it.

"Alright." Kodama waved her hand gently again for the last time. interrupted the sycophants of the officers." Captain Yang's posthumous affairs have been dealt with. Let's move on. I have to find a way to wash away his shame. XIAO Jun. Can you take on the task?"

"Me." Although it has been fighting for this opportunity at all costs. But the little lama still felt his heart beating disobediently. Looking at Kodama for the last time. His face was full of trepidation." Can't. Can't. LIU Tuan. Battalion Commander Li and two battalion commanders, Pan and Xia. They are all more experienced than me. More qualified than me."

"I made a mistake for Yang Jun just now. But you." Kodama deliberately put his face on the plate at the end. Said in a deep voice. How. You have the courage to take his own seat. Don't you have the courage to carry on his unfinished business?"

"This ......." the little lama looked embarrassed. Turn your head. looked pitifully at the bosses who were older than him in terms of official positions and qualifications. Ask them to take the initiative and take the load.

Deputy Liu Tuan and the three battalion commanders of Li, Pan, and Xia were not convinced that the little lama took the opportunity to take the position. But he didn't have the courage to sweep the face of the "Japanese Taijun". He smiled. They all spoke." Brother Xiao. Since Taijun appreciates you. Take up your burden. Anyway, you were supposed to be promoted to battalion commander. It's no problem to move up one more level."

"yes. Oh, yes. Brother Xiao. Those who can work harder. Your skills. We all know that."

"yes. Brother Xiao. Don't give in. Don't give in. From now on, we will only look at your horse."

.......

"This. All right. Since several chiefs can afford to look down on Xiao. Xiao tried his best to give it a try." Xiao Zhongtang, the pseudo-company commander nicknamed the little lama, pretended to be a warm and difficult appearance. Blushing and accepting everyone's persuasion." If Xiao's ability is overwhelmed. I also asked several officers to remind Xiao in time. Xiao took the initiative to let Xian."

". The devil believes that you will take the initiative to step down from the position of regimental commander." Several pseudo-officers cursed in their hearts. but his face pretended to be happy and convinced. Stand side by side in front of the little lama. Salute him." Head Xiao. Please lead everyone to avenge Captain Yang."

"Xiao will do his best." The little lama unceremoniously returned the salute. Get into character quickly." Please also ask the four to return to the team first. Help Xiao boost morale. After Xiao asked Taijun for instructions. You can come up with a workable solution."

"Yes." A few guys who didn't take advantage of the opportunity said yes loudly. Turn around and run into the ranks of the puppet army.

Gave four people a ride with their eyes. The little lama tidied up his company commander's clothes. Turn your head to Kodama again." Sir. The subordinate has two suggestions. I hope the chief can do it."

"Say." Kodama nodded in agreement. Since the firing line has promoted the little lama. He had to give this person some necessary support. Of course. Let the puppet army stand by and watch. Let the Imperial Japanese Army launch a charge alone. I believe Grand Master Xiao will not mention it. If he really doesn't look like that. Kodama will not be stingy at the end and will be replaced by another person as the head of the regiment. Anyway, this year. Give a bone and forget what the ancestral guy has. Don't worry about no one continuing to lead the group of cannon fodder in front of you for the imperial army.

"Next charge. The subordinate asked to lead the team in person. Put pressure on the positions of the Eighth Road on foot." The little lama saluted gratefully. Accompany the twelve minutes carefully to discuss with Kodama for the last time.

"Lead the team personally. Xiao Jun can lead by example. I'm very pleased." Kodama was stunned for the last time. Respond casually. Immediately. Realize that the point of the little lama's previous sentence is not here. Raise your eyebrows. Ask loudly." You mean. Dismount and fight.. Why. Is it faster on foot than on horseback?"

"It's too dark. Under the interference of flares . War horses are very easy to get out of control." The little lama looked up at the starry sky. Give an excuse that is not an excuse.

The average speed of a 100-meter sprint on a horse is just over six seconds. The brethren of the garrison brigade took at least fifteen and a half seconds to run a hundred meters with their guns. Charge at the position of the dirt road. Of course it is faster to ride on a horse. But. In case it is beaten back by the dirt eight roads again. Riding a war horse and running back, it is easy to stomp on the heads of the Warlords like before. Running back on foot could not break through the network of machine-gun fire no matter what.

Just this reason. You can't say it anyway. It can only be relied upon by the will of the person concerned. Fortunately, Kodama's last confusion only lasted for two or three seconds. Soon. He guessed the true intentions of the little lama. smiled and patted each other on the shoulder. Whisper praise." XIAO Jun. You're good. Very smart. What I like most is dealing with smart people. Just do as you say. Next charge. The entire garrison brigade dismounted. Let your opponents see what you're really capable of."

"Thank you, sir." The little lama saluted again. Then he continued to speak loudly." My second suggestion is. Please ask the Imperial Army to provide me with heavy fire support. The soldiers of the Dirt Eight Road are well-trained though. The number of people is very limited. The subordinates tried their best to lure them into exposing all their firepower. Then hand it over to the Imperial Army for a focused strike."

"This ........" Kodama was stunned again at the end. The Imperial Allied Army is the main attack. The Imperial Japanese Army covered for them. It seems like putting the cart before the horse. You can think about it a little more. Then he understood the wisdom of the little lama's suggestion. The same is when cannon fodder. One by one, they rushed forward to target the dirt eight roads. The Imperial Concorde died a worthless death. And relying on the sacrifice of the Imperial Army. Expose the specific location of the eight roads. The area was then covered by grenadiers and field artillery of the Imperial Japanese Army. It's the same as exchanging lives for lives. Whether it's three for one. Or five for one. The garrison brigade outnumbered the enemy by ten times its number. Sooner or later, there is a moment when the dirt eight roads will be replaced.

In a flash. Kodama was impressed with the little lama for the second time. Ruthless enough. Bold enough. It's also insidious and cunning enough. Knowing that with the current state of morale of the garrison brigade. It's hard to take down the position of the dirt road with a single charge. Still ready to let his men bleed. As long as this tactic receives the desired effect. So. No matter how many times the garrison brigade was repulsed by the Tsubachi Road . are still in the tactical execution phase. The little lama, the head of the regiment, will not fall into the same fate as Yang Yaozu. It is even possible to build merit for this. And then he was rewarded by the imperial army.

"Good. I'll transfer all the heavy firepower of the Kawada Brigade to support you. Mortars and grenadiers of the Kodama squadron. We will also provide you with fire support at all times." Didn't wait for Kodama to guess the little lama's mind for the last time. Shiro Shirakawa, the operational staff officer, has already made a commitment for him and Kawada Kuniaki." If you have any other suggestions. You can also bring it up at any time. I, and Chief Kawada and Chief Kodama will also consider it at our discretion."

"Sir Xie." The little lama stood up and saluted. Loud thanks to Shiro Shirakawa, Sueji Kodama, and Kuniaaki Kawada." Other suggestions are not available for the time being. Please give me twenty minutes to sort out the team. Twenty minutes later. The subordinates will definitely surprise the three commanders."

"Good. We look forward to seeing what you do." As the supreme officer of the entire team. Kuniaki Kawada nodded. Final decision." Go ahead. Don't let me down."

"Please, sir, wait for good news." The little lama saluted again. Turn around. Run into the ranks of the puppet army. It is not far from Kawada Kuniaki's side. They were surrounded by other accomplices. Someone shouted congratulations to him. Someone sourly said something cool. More people. It was looking at him with a worried face. He muttered in a low voice, "Lama. Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? We're no match for us on horseback. Hike to the charge. Isn't that the same as being a live target for others?"

"You have all seen the ferocity of the Japanese just now. Next time there is a war. Guys back down. It's a dead end. I don't let the guys ride horses. The next time you guys can't hold it anymore. At least you can lie on the ground. You won't be carried back by a war horse to hit the Warlord's machine guns." The little lama glanced sideways at everyone. Whispered growl.

Whether you accept it or not. The surrounding puppet army all understood the little lama's good intentions in an instant. Look into his eyes. Also full of gratitude. Take this rare opportunity. The little lama commanded in a puff." I'll be clever later. If you don't want to die. What do I let do. You just follow what you do. Don't give me any ideas. Otherwise. You die of your own accord. Don't blame me for not holding back."
