Chapter 301: Entering the Grain
Takeo Yamagami was a sergeant commander of the 101st Squadron of the 2nd Cavalry Wing.
As a cavalry non-commissioned officer, Yamagami Takeo is proud from the bottom of his bones, because cavalry is the most noble branch of the Japanese army and navy, there is no one, whether it is infantry, artillery or aviation, or even the navy, there is no identity restriction for other arms, and the son of a peasant can also be competent, but the cavalry is absolutely not good.
The soldiers of the cavalry must be selected from among the samurai!
And the samurai have been the backbone of Japanese society since the Warring States period!
Since the Taika Revolution, every evolution and turning point in Japanese society has been completed by the samurai class, especially during the Meiji Restoration, the samurai class in Japan played a decisive role.
And Yamagami Takeo is precisely a samurai from Satsuma.
For example, the 1st Division was formed in Tokyo, and the 2nd Division was formed in Sendai, but the cavalry and officers of the Japanese army were not organized, and all of them were filled by non-commissioned officers, Lu Dasheng, and samurai from all over the country, and the reason for this was to avoid the situation of warlordism.
Yamagami Takeo is a samurai from Satsuma, and has a little relationship with Saigo Takamori, one of the three masters of the Meiji era, so the identity of the samurai has been integrated into the bone marrow, because in the last two Olympic Games, Japan sent athletes to win good results in a row, which has led to Yamagami's almost pathological pride in samurai and cavalry.
Takeo Yamagami led a group of more than ten cavalrymen to act as the spearhead of the entire rescue team.
A bright moon has risen from behind the mountains in the east, the cold moonlight is sprinkled down, you can barely see within thirty meters, the winding road is quite flat, at least the horse running is absolutely no problem, after leaving the camp, the mountain warriors and the more than ten horsemen behind them let go of the reins of the horses, and galloped forward.
Since coming to the Chinese battlefield, there are few such opportunities.
So Takeo Yamagami definitely didn't want to miss this precious opportunity.
After galloping down more than ten kilometers, the war horse under the crotch felt a little sweaty.
In his eyes, the introduction of Arabian horses and Japanese Mongolian horses to form the Oriental horse, it can be said that it combines the advantages of Mongolian horses and Arabian horses, it has the endurance and resistance of Mongolian horses, and also has the explosive power of Arabian horses.
Therefore, a march of more than ten kilometers is really nothing for the Toyoma.
As soon as the martial man on the mountain ran up, there was a sudden dense gunfire behind the mountain in front of him.
"There is a situation, prepare for battle!" Hearing the gunshots, Yamagami Takeo drew his saber with his backhand.
More than a dozen horsemen behind Takeo on the mountain also drew their sabers one after another, and the sabers of the Japanese cavalry were all made of cold steel, and their whole bodies emitted a miserable white light under the moonlight, which made people shudder.
The horse continued to gallop forward at a constant speed, and after turning the corner of the mountain, the eyes suddenly opened up.
What caught Takeo on the mountain was a tragic battlefield, only to see the road and the wilderness on both sides of the road, lying all over the corpses of Japanese soldiers, and even some of the corpses of Japanese soldiers were stripped of their uniforms, but Takeo on the mountain and the cavalry behind him were indifferent to this, because it was not the first time they had encountered it.
The communist army was called Hanako, and they all wore single clothes in winter, and it was common to strip the Japanese army of their uniforms.
The corpses did not attract the attention of the mountain warrior, but it was an infantry who was raising a gun to shoot what attracted the attention of the mountain warrior!
He was probably the only Japanese soldier alive on the entire battlefield.
Despite being covered in blood, the infantryman continued to shoot, screaming meaninglessly.
About a hundred meters away from the infantry, a dozen Chinese soldiers fled into the forest with the frightened rats, and it was obvious that the Chinese army had been attacking the area, but because of their arrival, realizing that there was no hope of victory, the Chinese army immediately abandoned the attack and fled into the dense forest.
Although Takeo Yamagami wanted to pursue and chase into the woods to kill all the Chinese soldiers who escaped, he still didn't dare to act rashly in the end, firstly, because the wing commander gave a strict order that he was absolutely not allowed to act without authorization, and secondly, because the cavalry was not suitable for jungle combat, because the dense woods would affect the mobility of the cavalry.
Losing the speed advantage, cavalry could easily become prey to infantry.
Yamagami Takeo ordered a dozen cavalry under his command to scatter in all directions, while paying attention to vigilance, while searching the battlefield to see if there were any surviving soldiers, Yamagami Takeo himself walked quickly towards the infantry, and in less than a moment, the mountain samurai had already ridden his horse to the infantry, but the infantry actually raised his gun directly aimed at him.
"Yaga." Takeo Yamagami hurriedly opened the muzzle of the gun with his saber and scolded, "You are crazy! ”
The infantryman, however, seemed to be really insane, staring at the night sky in front of him with a blank focus, and kept repeating the same sentence in his mouth: Xina, Shina.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the infantryman finally recognized the military uniform on Yamagami Takeo and knew that he was his own kind, so he no longer aimed his gun at him, but the infantry ignored Yamagami's question, just kept loading, aiming, shooting again, reloading, aiming again, shooting again.
It was the direction in which the Chinese soldiers had disappeared just now.
In the middle of this, the infantry kept repeating: Xina, Zhina.
"Poor fellow." A cavalryman rode over and said to the warrior man on the mountain, "It seems that he has gone crazy." ”
Takeo Yamagami shook his head and instructed the cavalryman, "You go and call Iwata over and let Iwata show him, it is best to restore him to his senses, he is the only survivor here." ”
The cavalryman gave a shout, turned and walked away, and soon led another cavalry over.
The cavalryman was carrying a medicine box on his back, he was a military doctor, and Takeo Yamagami called two more cavalrymen to force the infantry to sit down, and then asked Iwata to bandage him, Iwata dealt with the infantry briefly, and said: "Sir, he has been hit on the head violently, and it may be difficult for him to regain consciousness in a short time, but ......"
Takeo Yamagami frowned and said, "But what? ”
Iwata said: "But he should still have the image of the previous fierce battle in his mind, if the chief wants to ask him any questions, he must do it as soon as possible, otherwise, once the image that remains in his mind disappears, then he can't ask anything, and I suspect that this guy may be difficult to recover." ”
The mountain warrior's face immediately changed, and he asked the infantryman, "Hey, what happened here just now?" ”
The infantryman didn't react, just struggled and continued to mutter: Xina, China.
Takeo Yamagami immediately had nothing to do, but Iwata was still witty, reached out and untied the small pocket of the infantryman's jacket, took out a soldier's card from it, and then shouted: "Takahashi-san!" ”
The infantry's dull gaze finally rolled and said, "Hay." ”
Takeo Yamagami breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Takahashi-san, what happened here just now?" ”
The infantryman immediately replied, "There are so many soldiers, there are countless soldiers, there are many soldiers everywhere, they are like cockroaches, coming out of all the dark corners, many, many, many, many......"
Takeo Yamagami frowned again and asked, "Where did the main force of the 1st Infantry Brigade go?" Where did they go? ”
But the infantryman didn't react, just said over and over again: a lot, a lot, a lot.
Yamagami Takeo and Iwata tried their best, but in the end there was almost no useful information that could be asked, and after about ten minutes, the main force of the cavalry wing arrived, followed by the cavalry wing, as well as the chariot detachment and the motorized infantry brigade, Yamagami Takeo asked Iwata and another cavalryman to watch Takahashi, and then hurried to the cavalry wing commander Suzuki Shigezo.
After Suzuki Shigezo received Yamagami's report, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took Yamagami Takeo to Hamura's chariot.
"Please take me to meet this warrior." After listening to the report, Hamura Shuichi immediately asked Yamagami Takeo to take him to meet Takahashi, Hamura Shuichi's move, one is to encourage Takahashi in recognition of his heroic performance, and the other is that Hamura Shuichi also wants to personally ask Takahashi Infantry 1st Brigade what is going on?
Shuichi Hamura didn't expect this to be a trap at all.
Hamura Shuichi didn't expect that this Takahashi he was about to see turned out to be a Chinese!
In less than a moment, Hamura Shuichi came to Takahashi under the guidance of Takeo Yamagami, and followed by Hamura Shuichi, as well as the captain of the cavalry wing, Suzuki Shigezo, and the captain of the motorized infantry brigade, Naoto Fujiki, in addition to more than a dozen guards and combat staff officers.
In front of Shuichi Hamura, Takahashi was still the same dull-eyed look, and his mouth kept repeating: "Nishinazhia people, Xinazhina people." ”
This so-called Takahashi, of course, was pretended by Xu Rui.
Seeing an old devil with a collar badge and epaulettes embellished with a star walking towards him, Xu Rui's heart couldn't help but beat wildly, according to the Japanese military system, the commander of an independent mixed detachment is generally a major general, which means that the devil major general in front of him who is walking towards him is very likely to be Shuichi Hamura!
"Xina, Zhina, Xina, Zhina......" Xu Rui's heart was already beating wildly, but on the surface, he was still that sluggish, although he was surrounded by thousands of Japanese troops, Xu Rui was not panicked at all, he was not worried at all that someone would recognize him, in fact, except for the baggage squadron that had been killed in battle, it was impossible for anyone to know Takahashi, an insignificant private.
Because the Japanese army practiced a military system of separating generals and soldiers, not to mention, the 101st Infantry Division was still an ad hoc division, except for the squad, there was no familiarity between the officers and soldiers of various units, and there was even more strangeness between senior generals and grassroots officers and soldiers, so if someone could recognize Takahashi, it would really be called a ghost.
What's more, he and Takahashi look very similar.
