Chapter 3: The Storm (13b)

Suddenly, the surrounding devil officers were just as big as Shirakawa Shiro, with their mouths wide open and lost their souls

The ammunition has been burned out, and now the Kawada Brigade Sensei said that it will continue to drag down the 93rd Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army, and even self-preservation has become a problem! As for the Xing'an garrison brigades that chased after him, when they heard the gunfire of the 93rd Regiment's counterattack, who knew if they would immediately turn around and flee for their lives Anyway, it was not the first time that they had done this

The grain was also burned Even if at this moment, Kawada Kuniaki immediately broke his wrist and gave up the first squadron that was blocking the attack of the 93rd Regiment and evacuated the battlefield with the rest of the devil soldiers What awaits them will be a long and difficult escape This is the Saiwai grassland Not densely populated North China The population density is one per ten square kilometers Walking for dozens of miles without seeing any villages is the most common phenomenon Even if you grab food, you can't find the target of robbery, and you can't grab cattle, sheep and food No matter how many soldiers are removed from the battlefield, the final result is the same And when they're so hungry that they can't even lift their guns, thousands of wild wolves emerge from the horizon to do the final cleaning up for nature

However, the loss of ammunition and food supplies is not the most terrible thing, but even more terrible than the loss of food and ammunition is the complete loss of soul of a team Not far from Kawada Kuni, Showa Shirakawa and Shirakawa Shiro and others, gathered group after group of empty-eyed, blank-looking routs The sabers of the Chinese cavalry did not hit them in the back, and Kawada Kuniaki's bullet did not hit them in the chest, but their souls seemed to have already broken away from their shells, and they did not know where they had fled, and what remained on the battlefield at the moment were just groups of walking corpses Trembling at the sight of gunshots, incontinent at the sight of the sword, and wanting to turn them back into warriors who can fight the Empire, there is almost no possibility

It's over, it's all over, the Kawada brigade is completely finished, the evil Fat Zhang, the despicable Fat Zhang, he has obviously locked the victory, and he will continue to use the cavalry to counterattack for a round In order to completely break the confidence of the Kawada brigade His goal has been achieved He has made a lot of money again From then on, the entire Kawada brigade will hear the sound of his horse's hooves, and they can't help but think of today's scene Even if the shortage of soldiers is replenished completely, there is no confidence and morale in the field

Kawada Kuniaki could not accept such a tragic result under any circumstances His dream was to drink the South China Sea and leave his own glory in the entire Chinese theater of operations, instead of sinking into the sand at a small ferry with almost no name on the map, and his dream was to step on the corpses of Chinese soldiers to the pinnacle of fame and glory like Ishihara Wanji, Hanaya Masa, and Itagaki Seishiro Instead of being humiliated and dismissed from his post and escorted back to the Kwantung Army headquarters for trial Thinking of the future that would be completely bleak from now on, Kawada Kuniaki felt bored Stood up, staggered away a few steps, sighed helplessly, drew his pistol and aimed it at his temple (Note 1)

"Stop" Shirakawa Shiro quickly noticed that Kawada Kuniaki's demeanor was wrong, and immediately got up and chased after him, pushing away the opponent's pistol

"Bah" The bullet flew past Kawada Kuniaki's scalp with a scorching smell Kawada Kuniaki committed suicide once and did not die All the courage in his body immediately disappeared cleanly Squatted down, held his head with both hands, whimpered and said: "Let me die, let me die, the Kawada brigade is over, what is the point of me being alive as a commander?"

"The Kawada Brigade is not finished, and if Tokugawa Ieyasu commits suicide immediately after the Battle of Mikatahara, it will not be possible to achieve the final hegemony Kawada-kun, cheer up, cheer up," Shirakawa Shiro picked up Kawada Kuniaki from the ground and slapped the opponent's back hard, "Besides, if you look at the whole of China, this is just a trivial battle, and the victory of this war ultimately belongs to the Japanese Empire, and you and I will eventually raise a glass together at the final celebration banquet" (Note 2)

"The final victory! The final victory banquet belongs to you, I, I'm afraid I will only be able to envy you from afar in prison," Kawada Kuniaki glanced at Shirakawa Shiro and smiled bitterly with tears in his eyes, he had just walked before the ghost gate closed, and he must not have the courage to commit suicide a second time, but the punishment he was about to face was not necessarily much more comfortable than suicide, unless, unless the Shirakawa family would spare no effort to clear his name

"You and I must be" Shirakawa Shiro immediately understood Kawada Kuniaki's thoughts, and nodded vigorously, although he has a deep family background and a high enough military rank, but after all, he is just a gilded combat staff officer sent down from above At this moment, he does not have enough prestige to organize the remnants of the defeated army under his command, so no matter what, he can't let Kawada Kuniaki cut himself off at this juncture, otherwise, what awaits Kawada's brigade will definitely be the end of the entire army, and he, the combat staff officer, will not have any chance to escape

Thinking of this, Shirakawa Shiro let go of Kawada Kuniaki, took two steps back, looked into the other party's eyes, and swore an oath, "A failure doesn't mean anything, and our Shirakawa family will never look the other way at the person we chose because of a failure, and besides, we were forced by others to take risks this time, and we fell into the trap of the 93rd Regiment by mistake, and we are responsible, and it is not your turn and I to take responsibility."

Hearing this, Kawada Kuniaki's eyes immediately rekindled two flames of hope and bowed deeply to Shirakawa Shiro, the combat staff officer, "Shirakawa-kun, I will remember your kindness today for the rest of my life."

"The preceding question is that you need to pull yourself together and get out of here safely with everyone you have to pull yourself together and must" Shiro Shirakawa put his hands around the other and demanded in a commanding tone

"I know what to do," Kawada Kuniaki took a deep breath and swept his gaze across the battlefield Near the banks of the river to the south, the most elite squadron in the entire brigade was still trying to resist the attack of the 93rd Regiment, and no one at all, or very few people knew that their ammunition and rations had been wiped out, and on an unknown hillside a kilometer to the north, the Chinese cavalry was regrouping, ready to pounce at any moment, and together with the 93rd Regiment, to deliver the final blow to the Kawada Wing, due east and due west, there was an endless wilderness The spring grass has just grown out of the ground, and the shallow ones can't pass the horse's hooves The legendary Morikawa Wing and several other friendly forces that were ordered to entangle the Ninety-Three Regiment are walking somewhere deep in the grassland, and they may show their sharp teeth to the Ninety-Three Regiment at any time, or flee from the wind......

"Morikawa United has come from afar, and they need to learn about the opponent's situation with us" Shirakawa Shiro's voice rang in his ears at the right time, making his eyes light up again Quickly turned his gaze to the remnants of the defeated army around him Kawada Kuniaki put on the majesty of the captain and called in a deep voice "Second Squadron Matsumura Michitake Shaoza"

"In" Second Squadron Leader Michitake Matsumura, who had just escaped from the saber of the Chinese cavalry, gave a shiver and responded with a wink

"More than half of your second squadron has been killed, and you, the squadron leader, have the obligation to seek justice for the warriors under your command," Kawada Kuniaki sighed again, not so much as an encouragement, but a threat, "So I'll give you another chance to prove yourself, you lead all the soldiers of the second squadron to the north, go there, and completely expel the Chinese cavalry from the battlefield."

"I, I'm ......," Matsumura Michitake's face turned snow-white and stammered, "The rest of the second squadron, the remaining soldiers, are only enough to be reduced into a small team, I, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task you gave me."

When I went to rescue the baggage team just now, Matsumura's squadron ran the fastest, and suffered the heaviest blow from the Chinese cavalry, and at present, all the soldiers of the entire squadron together were only one-third of the full strength, and many of them had completely lost their souls, and they had no combat effectiveness at all

However, Kuniaki Kawada didn't want to give Matsumura Michitake a chance to bargain at all, raised his hand, and gave the other party a big slap in the face, "Yaga, this is an order, no argument, you, do you want me to enforce military law?"

Matsumura Takemichi was beaten in place and spun around a few times It was not easy to regain his footing and looked at Shirakawa Shiro with red eyes I hope the latter can say a few good words for himself Cancel this almost mortal mission Unexpectedly, Shirakawa Shiro, a combat staff officer who has always been good at talking, suddenly became ruthless Stepped forward and gently sorted out Matsumura Michitake's epaulettes "This is the test of the empire for you Matsumura Shaosa, have you forgotten the oath you made when you got on the ship?"

"Matsumura, Matsumura doesn't dare to forget," Matsumura Michitake knew that he was in danger, nodded and responded mournfully, and then rushed out of his command knife and shouted at the soldiers under his command, "The second squadron, the time has come to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, Jade Shatter."

Even the soldiers who had been most poisoned by the bushido spirit had withstood the desperate blow just now, and it was impossible for them to regain their courage to take the initiative to challenge the Chinese cavalry, which was almost twice their size, after withstanding the desperate blow just now

"Oda Shaosa, make up the guns of the second squadron, and then you lead the third squadron to supervise the battle," Kawada Kuniaki didn't look at the reaction of the soldiers of the second squadron, frowned, and commanded sharply

"Yes" Masao Oda, the squadron leader of the third squadron, was pardoned with his legs together and commanded loudly It is impossible for Kawada Kuniaki not to leave any people around him The second squadron was sent out The third squadron will naturally be able to live a little longer Therefore, he is happy to accept the task of supervising the battle, although he is a little sorry for the friendship between him and Matsumura Michitake

There was a sound of pulling the bolt of the gun in the crowd, and there were far more surviving soldiers in the 3rd Squadron than in the 2nd Squadron, and most of the devils in it had similar thoughts to Squadron Leader Masao Oda, hoping to die behind his teammates instead of going to Jade Crush with them

Others, with a bit of sympathy, untied their bullet pouches and silently handed them over to the soldiers of the 2nd Squadron who were now empty-handed, and the latter looked at them like a dream, with no gratitude or resentment on their faces, and all that was left was endless blankness

"The second squadron set off" Look at the second squadron, almost every soldier has a gun in his hand Kawada Kuniaki didn't dare to delay time, gritted his teeth and issued an order, "Third squadron, carry out the order"

The soldiers of the 3rd Squadron immediately put their machine guns out of the way, leveled their rifles, and aimed them at the entire 2nd Squadron, facing the muzzles of the guns that were close at hand, and then looked at the Chinese cavalry a kilometer away, and the Japanese devil soldiers of the 2nd Squadron quickly chose to accept their fate, and under the leadership of the squadron leader Michitake Matsumura, they let out a cry of despair, picked up their rifles, and rushed into the distance without looking back

"Jade shattered, His Majesty the Emperor is watching you," Kawada Kuniaki shouted over and over at the backs of the cannon fodder, and Naodao himself was hoarse

In the hazy tears, he saw that the second squadron was getting closer and closer to the Chinese cavalry, getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye, it was entangled, red smoke billowed out, and countless people fell to the dust in an instant

"Jade shattered" Kawada Kuniaki finally shouted emotionally, jumped into the car, raised the command knife, and went far west, "Break through, keep the seeds of the Kawada brigade, and only then can you avenge Matsumura-kun and break through"

"Break through, follow the captain to break through" Shirakawa Shiro followed him and jumped into the same command vehicle, knelt on his seat, and waved his arms at the third squadron and all the devil officers and soldiers around him, "The Morikawa Wing is not far away, break out, join them, and then let's turn around and kill them again, and drive the Chinese cavalry away."

"Break out, break out, join the Morikawa wing," the other devil officers woke up from a dream, or jumped on their horses, or marched on foot, and fled before the third squadron that had gone to challenge the Chinese cavalry was annihilated

"Boom" A shell landed on the position of the No. 1 Squadron of the Kawada Brigade, which was in charge of the broken rear, and blew up and down the Japanese army's plaster flag, rolling up and down in the smoke and dust like a rag

Note 1: Ishihara Wanji, Hanaya Masa, and Itagaki Seishiro were the three main Japanese officers who instigated the 918 Incident, none of them had a high military rank at the time, but with this gamble, they all became the best in the military and became the idols of the younger generation of Japanese officers

Note 2: Tokugawa Ieyasu was a prince of Japan's Warring States period who fought against any of his opponents at the time, but finally unified Japan and established the Edo shogunate, and his family ruled Japan behind the scenes with the emperor as a puppet for 265 years
