Chapter 5: The Naked Child (14a)

"Taijun..."Unexpectedly, the Japanese lieutenant was still shot one hundred and fifty or sixty meters away from the trench. The little lama, the puppet head of the regiment, was shocked. Crawling forward. Lying in Sakai Takaaki's ear and yelling." Taijun. How are you? Taijun. You wake up. Hygienist. Hygienist. Hurry over and bandage. Taijun Sakai was shot in the neck."

"Taijun was shot. I was shot." The other puppet soldiers lying on the ground around them also opened their throats and shouted in unison. At the same time, he waved his arms desperately to the rear. Remind the Heavy and Grenadier not to fire for the time being. so that they can carry Sakai Taijun down the battlefield to rescue. However. The machine gunners and grenadiers of the devils turned a deaf ear to the cries of the puppet army. Quickly set up your arms. Throw rows of bullets and grenades into the empty trenches in the distance.

"Follow me. Climb and carry Taijun down." I can't figure out what Sakai Takaaki is. The little lama didn't dare to let the Emperor Taishang bleed to death in front of him. Bite your teeth. A horizontal heart. Ignoring the machine-gun bullets flying overhead. With his shoulder, he carried Takaaki Sakai, who had fallen into a coma, on his shoulders. Climb backwards with your hands and feet. Several pseudo-battalion commanders and company commanders around saw this. I also hurried over to help. A dozen packs of packs. Drag and pull. Like a dog pulling a sled. Move Sakai Takaaki quickly. While climbing. Don't forget to keep yelling at the machine-gun position." Stop shooting. Stop shooting. There is a Japanese governor. A Japanese governor was shot. Hurry up and let us send him down to the rescue. Delay any longer. I can't save it."

"Stop shooting. Stop shooting. There is a Japanese governor. A Japanese governor was shot."

"It's your own people. My own man was shot. Not us. Not us." The other puppet soldiers also did not bother to use the cover of machine guns to move near the trenches. Lying on the wet and cool grass. Keep yelling and shouting.

It took a lot of effort. The devil machine gunners finally saw the risk of being beaten into a sieve by bullets. Crowd slowly crawling backwards. Stunned. Hesitantly, they stopped firing one after another.

"What's going on.." A devil junior officer with the rank of lieutenant ran to the little lama. He asked, raising a brow. There is no order from Chief Kawada. How dare you take it down yourself?"

"It's not. It's not." The little lama's face immediately turned white with fright. Raise your right hand and shake it again and again." No. It's not that we're going to take it down ourselves. Be. It was this Taijun who was shot. Unbelief. See for yourself if you don't believe it."

"He's not dead." Lieutenant Devil glanced at Takaaki Sakai, whose upper body was already soaked with blood. Surprised to ask.

"Not dead. Didn't die. The bullet is a little off. It pierced the major artery at the base of the neck." The little lama hurriedly put down Sakai Takamei. Explain with a smile on his face." Chief Kawada ordered us all to listen to the Takasu. We brought him down. Mainly for two things. One is to see if the military doctor can save his life. The second is to ask Chief Kawada for instructions. Who's going to do next?"

"Carry him to the car team. There should be a medic over there. As for whether he can survive or not. It's up to him to see his own fate." Devil Lieutenant although he looks down on the veteran Yakuko Sakai Takaaki. But he can't bear to see death without help. Thought about it. Yue Yi gave orders to the little lama." This attack is null and void. Let the partisans of the Dirt Eight Road breathe a little longer. Wait until Chief Shirakawa has sent you a new commander. Wipe them out in one more go."

"Yes. Taijun Yingming. Taijun is wise." The little lama and others were overjoyed. Raise Takaaki Sakai. Thankfully, I ran in the direction of the car in the distance. While running. while secretly wiping the cold sweat off his forehead." His grandmother's. I can finally take a break and take a breath. The dirt road is hundreds of meters away, and one shot can hit Sakai Taijun. The fool was willing to lie there and wait for him to be called one by one. Next charge. If you say anything, you have to ask Chief Kawada to send another Taijun down. There's Taijun here. The sharpshooters of the Dirt Eight Road can't take care of us."

"Damn." Two or three hundred meters apart. Kuniaki Kawada through a telescope. I also saw the pseudo-regimental commander and others who were trotting towards the convoy. Angrily cursed. Turn your head to the herald beside you." You go. Notify the artillerymen over there. This round of bombardment is canceled. By the way, I called both Staff Officer Shirakawa and Squadron Leader Kodama over. Tell them I need to readjust the deployment."

"Hi Yi." The herald agreed. Trotting away. A moment of effort. So I found Shiro Shirakawa, who was in command of the battle, and Kodama Sueji, who was full of complaints. I saw the two of them with a sad face. Kuniaki Kawada smiled. Said pretending to be magnificent." Don't do that? Performance of the Garrison Brigade. It was originally expected by us. Through these four charges. Finally, the enemy's strength is basically clear. Next. We can calmly eat them in one bite."

"I'm depressed about our loss." Shirakawa smiled reluctantly. Explain in a low voice." Cavalry instructor in a garrison brigade. Almost all of them were killed. The two light machine gun crews that I just secretly transferred up. It is also all broken jade for His Majesty the Emperor. And then count Lieutenant Sakai, who was just carried down........"

"There are only seven of them." Kuniaki Kawada extends his index and middle fingers. Pinch with your thumb in mid-air." Heptad. Much less than I expected. But the partisans on their side. The casualties are certainly more than twice as many as ours. A few more rounds of a charge like this. There is no need for the Imperial Japanese Army to go out. The garrison brigade will be able to drain the guerrillas."

"That's right." Shirakawa Shiro sighed softly. Acknowledging that Kuniaki Kawada summed it up makes sense. But deep down. But I still feel that there is a depressed breath and nowhere to vent. As for where this depression comes from. He himself couldn't tell. In a word. It's not interesting to have a fight like this tonight. It does not reflect the true strength of the Imperial Japanese Army at all. Nor can it crush the confidence and courage of the resisters. If after this battle. There are still people on the other side of the dirt road who are lucky enough to become fish that have slipped through the net. Shiro Shirakawa is sure. This fish that slipped through the net will carry on the entire spiritual and intellectual legacy of the entire Blackstone guerrillas. Little by little, another Blackstone guerrilla army was born from nothing. Little by little, it grew again into a stumbling block to the grassland raiders of the Great Japanese Empire.

"yes. This result. Isn't that exactly what we were expecting?" Kodama also sighed faintly at the end. said he would continue to support any decision made by Kuniaki Kawada. The battle has come to this point. And then continue to fight for the supreme command. It really doesn't mean anything. There is a buffer time for most of the night. Redbeard estimated that the old camp of the guerrillas had already been emptied by this time. Changed his Kodama Nakasa to command. In addition to eliminating all the people in front of you. What new tricks can you play?

Listen to Kodama's last statement. Kuniaki Kawada secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Slightly groaned. Quickly turn the conversation to the point." Thank you both for your understanding and support. Next round of offense. I'm going to switch to another tactic. You two. Please also help with some specific cooperation."

"Hi Yi. How to do it. Please ask Chief Kawada to show me." Shiro Shirakawa and Kodama were slightly stunned. Immediately say yes in unison. At the same time, try to stand up straight with your tired body.

"You don't have to be so polite." Kuniaki Kawada nodded slightly in satisfaction. Then he motioned with his eyes for Shiro Shirakawa and Kodama to move closer to him. Whispering slowly in a voice that only three people could hear." Next. Let's ........ Kodama Nakasa goes to ........ Shirakawa Nakasa to ........ The three of us work together. Strive for ......."

"Hi Yi." Shirakawa Shiro and Kodama Sueji agreed in unison. Then they all turned their gaze to the starlit trenches in the distance.

Next to the mutilated trenches. There are a few shadows moving fast. Due to the separation of more than 500 meters. Moonlight and starlight also have limited brightness. Without the help of a telescope. Shirakawa Shiro and Kodama had a hard time determining whether it was the guerrillas who were mending the trenches. Or low shrubs blown by the wind. Shrubs that grow near river channels. There is no lack of moisture in the branches and leaves. Therefore it is difficult to be ignited by artillery fire. Even if some red stars pop up once in a while. It will also go out quickly. Wet soil blown up by artillery shells is an excellent fire extinguishing agent. Not only can it cut off oxygen. It can also quickly reduce the temperature. And the guerrillas used wet soil to mend the trenches. It can often get twice the result with half the effort. If you let them go. In the blink of an eye. A new dirt slope may be built again on the edge of the trench.

"How. Don't you have faith in my plan?" Kuniaki Kawada doesn't like people to get distracted while discussing the battle plan. Frowning. Whispered questioning.

"Nope. Some. I mean. Have faith." Kodama was stunned and turned her gaze back. The answer was a little incoherent." I certainly have confidence in Kawada-kun's plan. Tu Balu has the ability again. Can you still use the dirt to send reinforcements?"

"Huh. Of course not." Shirakawa Shiro snorted very cooperatively. Of course, I can't be unconfident in Kawada-kun's plan. I was just thinking. In our next offensive. How will the Chinese commanders on the opposite side respond . Follow previous experience. He's probably not a person who likes to be a cliché. That's right. How is Sakai-kun's injury. Is there any hope of being brought back to life?"

Final Word. Purely to divert Kuniaki Kawada's attention. Like Takaaki Sakai, he doesn't have actual military power. A petty lieutenant who survived entirely by seniority. A handful of them in the Kawada brigade. It's not worth it at all for Staff Officer Shirakawa to waste energy on him. Kuniaki Kawada knew it very well in his heart. However. He didn't want to let the close relationship between himself and his deputy be overshadowed. So I followed up with a haha. Shrugging his shoulders in response." Hehe. Shirakawa-kun really has the style of an ancient famous general. Actually so concerned about a little lieutenant. He has been lifted to the containment vehicle and rescued. Can you pick up a life and come back? I don't know. I guess it's a lot of hope. Usually the more useless guys like him. The more reluctant to die so early.".
