Chapter 5: The Naked Child (12B)

"Damn." Kodama threw the telescope to the ground for the last time. Loud spitting. The telescope was pulled in mid-air by a leather rope around his neck. Failure to make contact with the ground. The back half of the leather rope grinded the back of his neck with a burning pain. This self-inflicted pain made him even more angry. Raise the command knife. Hit the Heavy on the shoulder with the back of his knife." Rubbish. Where are all the skills of normal training? I can't even grasp the opportunity to deliver it to my door. Are you afraid of accidentally hurting those idiots in the garrison brigade? Those idiots are dead. What is there to scruple about.."

"Kodamama-kun. Restrain your anger." Shiro Shirakawa, who was standing next to him, couldn't see it. Walk over. Gently wrap your arms around Kodama Sueji's shoulder." The garrison brigade was dismounted for the first time. For the first time, the Heavy is cooperating with them. can do so at present. It's pretty good."

"Not bad. They want to go any further." Kodama stopped the knife for the last time. His nostrils spewed hot air." Deal with a gang of Tubalu guerrillas. It's that strenuous. If you encounter the regular army of the Eighth Route in the future. You must not be beaten and run away."

"Not all Dirt Eight Road guerrillas. It's as strong as the one in front of you." Shirakawa Shiro smiled. Continue to enlighten softly." They're just a special case. It's not universal. And the Brethren behave tonight. It is also greatly affected by the surrounding environment and physical fatigue. Again, it doesn't represent normal levels."

These few words are cleverly stated. Almost all the complaints of Kodama at the end. What has been said and what has not been said in my heart. It's all blocked. In fact. It's not just ordinary soldiers who are behaving badly tonight. The interim supreme commander of this team, Kuniaki Kawada. Likewise some play out of order. With Kodama's last vision. At the beginning of the night. Kuniaki Kawada made a series of mistakes. First of all. He shouldn't have spotted the enemy and immediately ordered an attack. The two armies are at war. The most taboo thing is this kind of refueling tactic. You should be well prepared first. And then like a goshawk when it catches a rabbit. Either don't shoot. Strike and use all your strength. Fight for a fatal blow. "heavy" weapons such as field artillery, heavy machine guns, and grenadiers that could reflect the absolute superiority of the Imperial Japanese Army. It's long overdue to take it all out. Instead of waiting until the garrison brigade was beaten to the ground by Tubalu. I thought that there were still a few "treasures" around me that I forgot to use.

Furthermore. In terms of the input of troops. Kuniaki Kawada also seemed a little too stingy. Knowing that the garrison brigade is not of great use. Actually again and again. Again and again, the hope of defeating the enemy is pinned on them. Plain wasted a lot of time not to say. It also hurt the morale of the Imperial Japanese Army. Almost every soldier. See the embarrassed appearance of the garrison brigade. There was a bit of fear on his face. Invisibly, the danger of the dirt road has been exaggerated several notches one after another.

If you change yourself to be the supreme commander. Kodama believed for the last time. You won't make any of the above mistakes yourself. His heart was also desperate for it. The rest of the battle is entirely up to you. Kuniaki Kawada can take the initiative to let Hyun knowingly. However, Shirakawa suddenly thrust a lever sideways. Some could have been borrowed to play the words. It's hard to say it again. Otherwise. Shiro Shirakawa and Kuniaki Kawada teamed up. He didn't have any chance of winning on his own.

"So what's next. Just continue to waste time here." The plot of the heart cannot be carried out. Kodama was very uncomfortable at the end. Biting my lip for a long time. Asked indignantly.

"Once in life. Second ripening. The cavalry of the garrison brigade did not perform well this time. Try a few more times. There is always a tacit understanding with the machine guns, grenadiers and field guns in the back.." Shirakawa Shiro smiled again. The expression on his face was as calm as before." Besides. It's so dark. Kodamama-kun can't let our own soldiers go to the garrison brigade to deceive the mines."

"This. This ......." Kodama was asked the last time. Chest tightness and shortness of breath. Let the soldiers under his command go to the thunder for the Imperial Army. He would never give such a stupid order. Otherwise. Even if you win the battle in front of you. He will also lose the support of his brothers. The Imperial Japanese Army is noble. The Manchukuo Emperor's Allied Army was lowly. This is the creed and tradition within the entire Kwantung Army. Dare to take the lead in violating this tradition guy. It will definitely be an alternative in the eyes of everyone. No matter how careful you are in your career in the future, it will not go well.

"I just think we're wasting too much time on the road. This time the target was originally Redbeard. And not what Izumo Dragon." I finally took a breath and evened out. Kodama immediately added loudly at the last time. Shirakawa-kun gives the garrison brigade a chance to exercise. I'm in favor. But it goes on like this. Hit until dawn. We may not be able to clean up the roadblocks in front of us."

"Then go ahead and clean up. Even if they withdraw on their own initiative. Catch up too. Kill them all." Didn't wait for Shirakawa Shiro to speak. Kuniaki Kawada, who had been pricking up his ears to listen to the argument between the two, suddenly spoke. The scruffy face is full of cruelty." I don't believe it. Such a competent team. Redbeard was really willing to let them be wiped out... If only he could be ruthless. I admit it too. Anyway, there is no Yunlong and Zhang Fatzi. The guerrillas had their hands and feet cut off. Redbeard even has the ability to do it again. On his own. I can't afford to toss any big storms and waves."

"Kawada-kun.......!" Kodama was taken aback at the end. Instinctively I want to object. Kuniaki Kawada didn't want to give him any chance. He waved his hand again. Said loudly: "Shirakawa-kun said it just now. Let's prepare for both. After another long delay. First-hand preparation is clearly already dangerous. Then be neat. Choose the second option directly. Feel relieved. If the headquarters asks about this in the future. All the responsibility is on my own."

"I. I'm not. That's not what it means! I. I mean......" Kodama last time her face was hot. He began to stutter again. Kill Redbeard and cut off one of Redbeard's arms. It must be the former that the credit is great. He came to the Black Rock Village for a mission this time. It is also to assist Kuniaki Kawada in exterminating the Red Beard. As for what Yunlong and what Zhang Fatman. I didn't even mention it when I explained the task. Kuniaki Kawada, who can be assisted, has already said that. If he insists on going straight to Redbeard's lair. It's a bit too philistine. Besides, Shiro Shirakawa, a gold-plated general, was present. It wasn't so easy for him to force Kuniaki Kawada to change his ways.

"That's it. Feel relieved. I, Kuniaki Kawada, am not a person who has no responsibility." One last glance at Kodama for the last time. Kuniaki Kawada emphasized again. Then ignore how embarrassed the expression on the other person's face is. Turn your gaze to Shirakawa Shiro. Commanded loudly: "Shirakawa-kun. Please continue to direct the garrison brigade to press forward. Be sure to mobilize all the dirt roads hidden in the trenches. I reckon. They're digging more than the outermost stretch of trenches."

"No matter how many strips are dug up. It is also a doomed thing that they will be wiped out. The difference is only in the morning and in the evening." Shirakawa nodded. Respond loudly. Immediately pulled a veteran oil from the crowd watching the battle. Ask out loud." Sakai-kun. Coordination of infantry and artillery. Do you have any previous experience with this?"

"Yes. There were. At. In the crusade against General Ma Zhanshan back then. I. I was. Served as a squad leader. Participated in battles." I didn't expect that the usually high-ranking staff officer Shirakawa would notice such a small person as himself. Takashi Sakai replied incoherently.

"It's good to have experience." Shirakawa Shiro pointed to the area where most of the puppet soldiers were lying on their stomachs on the battlefield. Commanded in a deep voice." Lieutenant Sakai. I'm giving you a chance to prove your worth now. You go to the commander of the garrison brigade. Cooperate with him in commanding the team. Destroy the enemy in front of you."

"I. I ......" Droplets of oil immediately popped up on Sakai's head. His face was full of trepidation." I didn't before. I've never brought so many soldiers. I. I didn't go to military school. I've only been in the service for a little longer. That's why I became a lieutenant based on my qualifications. Ability. Ability is average. Fear. I'm afraid it will make . will disappoint the chiefs."

"It doesn't matter." Shirakawa Shiro patted Takaaki Sakai on the back. It's like comforting. It's like he's being ruthless." You can rise and fall in the army for so many years. It's an ability in itself. Moreover. I'm not asking you to lead the charge."

"That. What does the chief want me to do?" Sakai Takaaki regretted it in his heart, and his intestines were almost green. But they didn't dare to say no more in their mouths. I knew it was like this. It's time to pretend to be sick before you go. Available before departure. Who knew that the Kodama squadron had rushed outside Blackstone Castle .. Who knows. The operation was aimed at exterminating the guerrillas. It's miserable. I don't even have a chance to feign illness. Take people to storm the positions of the guerrillas. Do you think the rifle in the hands of the fat man. Will you really raise half an inch for the sake of an old acquaintance?

Thinking of the "old friend" Zhang Songling's good marksmanship that is close to 100 shots. Then think about the loss of their own interests after the guerrillas were exterminated. Takaaki Sakai wants to cry without tears. However, Shiro Shirakawa couldn't see his inner feelings. Gently patted him again. Continued: "Your task is simple. It's about combining your previous rifle with experience. Taught to Captain Xiao. Then let him lead all the soldiers of the garrison brigade. Constantly luring out the guerrillas in the trenches. Create opportunities for the artillery in the back . Feel relieved. As long as your reactions are not as sluggish as they were just now. The cannonballs will never fall on your heads. I'm not going to order the Heavy to fire at your back."

"This ......." Takaaki Sakai looked embarrassed. Slow to move.

"How. Lieutenant Sakai. You're also ready to do business like you do. Do you want to bargain with me?" The smile on Shirakawa Shiro's face quickly turned cold. business". The bite is extraordinarily clear.

Sakai Takaaki's heart suddenly shuddered. Immediately realized what he and a few other veteran oilboys were secretly doing. It is possible that the Shirakawa staff officer has discovered the clues. The latter let himself go to the front line today to assist the head of the garrison brigade Xiao. Maybe he just wants to give himself a chance to make meritorious contributions. If you don't know what to do. I'm afraid even this last chance will be canceled.

Come to think of it. Takaaki Sakai no longer cares about the business interests and the risk of getting his head blown out by a cold gun. The legs snapped together. He gave Shirakawa a military salute in a dignified manner." Report to the Chief. The subordinates will carry out the mission. If you don't take the positions of the guerrillas . I won't come back to see you alive."

"Good. You go. I'm really looking forward to your performance. Give you ten minutes to prepare. Ten minutes later. The next offensive has officially begun." Shirakawa nodded. The smile on his face looked flat and cold.
