Chapter 285: Enemy Chieftain Gathering Thinking differently

The county seat of Lin'an County. Lin'an Street. Wing On Hotel. Private dining room in the restaurant.

Nakagawa Eiichi, Zong Hanichiro, and Ono Shaosa, the head of the Special High School Division, will leave Lin'an County tomorrow for Baoding Shosa. Takagi Hongzhi, Sun Zudong, commander of the major general of the Imperial Cooperative Army, Qian Wanlin, captain of the detective team, and Song Huaili, translator, accompanied him.

Everyone talked while eating, talking and talking about the days when Sakamoto Shaozo was captured and stayed at the garrison of the Eighth Route Army Supplementary Regiment in Shuihe Village, but they didn't expect Sakamoto to say it was lighthearted and unforgettable. Everyone was puzzled and asked such and such questions, and Sakamoto answered them one by one.

When Ono asked the question again, Sakamoto squinted at Ono and said angrily:

"Escape?! Prisoner?! Hum! Ono, you should know that the Eighth Route Army stationed in Shuihe Village is a reinforced regiment, surrounding the village like an iron barrel, impenetrable, I and the Imperial Army soldiers are less than fifty people, a company of Eighth Route Army soldiers guarded, you tell me, how to escape? In Chinese, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk. Hum! ”

Ono immediately put down his chopsticks and stood up in panic and bowed to Sakamoto to apologize:

"Sakamoto-kun, I'm sorry, I bumped into you with my words, please forgive me."

"Sit down! Don't talk nonsense! Nakagawa Eiichi glared at Ono and reprimanded. He turned his face to Sakamoto and smiled and said, "Sakamoto-kun, please don't mind, Ono-kun is just worried about your safety, it was originally a good intention, and he definitely didn't mean to despise you, but he said the wrong thing in his eagerness, please don't worry about him." Come, Sakamoto-kun, please eat fish, this is a very famous silver carp in the western Hebei region that was caught in Yueming Lake in Lin'an County this morning, fresh and fat, you must taste it. Please. ”

"Thank you, Captain Nakagawa, for your hospitality." Sakamoto picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.

"You're welcome, that's as it should be. Sakamoto-kun, you can walk around casually in Shuihe Village, have you seen the position built by Balu outside the village? Eiichi Nakagawa asked.

"Didn't see it, didn't see it at all. I went all over Shuihe Village, and I went to all the places on the outskirts of the village where it was possible to build positions, but I didn't see the positions of the Eighth Route Army. According to my analysis, it should be the Eighth Route Army that camouflaged all the positions, and to my surprise, the camouflage was so secretive that I couldn't see any flaws. ”

Nakagawa Sakai nodded thoughtfully, looking preoccupied.

"Sakamoto-kun, why did the Eighth Route send a company of heavy soldiers to guard you in full armor? Have you been abused? Sohan Ichiro asked.

"They didn't abuse us, and they treated the soldiers of the Imperial Army. The soldiers of a company of the Eighth Route Army guarded us, first of all, to prevent us from escaping, and secondly, to better protect us and prevent unnecessary casualties that might occur unexpectedly. ”

"Huh? Accidental casualties? Protect you? Sakamoto-kun, what's going on? Nakagawa Eiichi asked in confusion and disbelief.

"At first, I didn't understand it, but then I came into contact with some villagers and it was completely understood. If it were not for the protection of the Eighth Route Army, more than 40 of us would definitely be beaten to death or eaten and buried alive by the villagers, and there would be no corpses. ”

"Sakamoto-kun, you also came into contact with some villagers? How did you get in touch? What is the situation? Can you talk about it? Sohan Ichiro asked curiously.

"Yes. In order to understand the daily life of ordinary Chinese people and the local people's conditions, I made a request to the company commander of the Eighth Route Army, and after he consulted the commander, accompanied by the director of the Political Department, the company commander took me to the homes of the village chief, the director of the Women's Relief Association, the militia company commander, and the head of the children's regiment. The families of these four families received me very reluctantly and very unkindly, to be precise, they received me with a hatred full of anger and eyes that wanted to kill. These four families are all four-walled, living extremely difficult and difficult, and their bodies are thin and thin. But they all had unwavering confidence in winning the war in the end. Alas! Such a people and such a nation are difficult to conquer. ”

"Sakamoto-kun, how was the food and accommodation conditions for the more than forty of you when you were in Shuihe Village? Can you eat enough every day? Ichiro Sohan asked.

"You can eat a full meal. The main food is rice and steamed buns, lunch and dinner are two dishes, pork or eggs can be eaten every other day, and tofu. The Eighth Route Army only ate two meals a day, mainly nest heads and vegetarian dishes, and the commanders and soldiers ate the same food, and the officers and soldiers did not complain, and only the seriously wounded could occasionally eat meat and eggs, which I and the soldiers of the Imperial Army saw with our own eyes. Alas! The Eighth Route Army is worthy of being a benevolent and righteous army, how can we defeat such an army? Sakamoto said with emotion.

"Sakamoto-kun, have you also seen the training of the eight roads? What do you think of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Eighth Route compared to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of our imperial army? Who's higher and who's lower? Eiichi Nakagawa asked.

"In terms of morale and fighting spirit, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is high; From the point of view of weapons and equipment, of course, our imperial army has high combat effectiveness. However, the factors that determine the outcome of a war are by no means only weapons, talent is the most important, and advantages and disadvantages can be changed because of various factors. Also, after watching the training of the Eighth Route Army, I believe that the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Allied Army and the Detective Team, which we rely on and formed by the Chinese, is not at all the opponent of the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, I have to think that if the Eighth Route Army had our imperial army's advanced and sophisticated weapons and equipment and sufficient ammunition, we would definitely lose the war. Sakamoto said with certainty.

"No, no, no. Sakamoto-kun, your idea is completely wrong. As a soldier of the Imperial Japan, you shouldn't, let alone think so. Eiichi Nakagawa said negatively.

"Hmph." Sakamoto snorted twice from his nostrils disapprovingly.

"Sakamoto-kun, have you ever asked the Eighth Road Chief? What do they think about the outcome of this war? What do you guys say? Sohan Ichiro raised sensitive issues.

"I have asked several commanders of the Eighth Route Army together and separately, and their answers are all the same: China will win and Japan will lose. I also asked two old men in their sixties and seventies and the head of the 11-year-old children's regiment, and their answer was that China would win and Japan would lose, and they glared at me and roared at me. ”

"Sakamoto-kun, what do you think the outcome of this war will be? Can you tell us candidly and candidly? Nakagawa Rong kept asking.

"Absolutely. Captain Nakagawa, ladies and gentlemen, through what I saw and heard in Shuihe Village during those days, especially the night before I was leaving, I had a long and in-depth conversation with several commanders of the Eighth Route Army, and I really gained a lot and benefited a lot. It wasn't so much that I was captured, but that it was a study of mine. I really don't want to judge this way, but I can't help but judge that the final outcome of this war should be the complete victory of China and the complete defeat of Japan. ”

After listening to Sakamoto's narration, everyone was shocked, and no one thought that Sakamoto, a member of the imperial family of the Imperial Japanese Empire and an officer of the Imperial Army, would actually say such uncommensurate and deviant words.
