Chapter 594: Fellow Townsmen in Kanazawa

Chapter 594 Kanazawa Fellow Townspeople

The reservists of the 1st and 9th Divisions were formed in Kanazawa, a famous city in north-central Japan. and the 1st 109th Division, which was wiped out on the Weicheng front, was also urgently organized to join the North China battlefield at the beginning of the war.

Because Liu Yimin led the instructor to participate in the battle, after the 109th Division entered the Shanxi battlefield, it never had a chance to leave Shanxi, and its hands were stained with the blood of the people of the Sanjin Dynasty.

When Liu Yimin arrived at the side of the main road, all the units of the 118th Brigade of the Japanese Army flocked to the mountain to clean up the battlefield, except for artillery and a small number of troops responsible for blockade tasks.

This is also human nature, Liu Yimin is said to be like a god, capturing Taiyuan, attacking Tianjin, attacking Qingdao, and occupying Jinan, with great prestige. Now, this god-like Liu Yimin is dying on the mountain in front of him, and the opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

The 109th Division, from officers to soldiers, are all reservists around 30 years old, and they all have wives and children at home. The main reason why these guys came to China to participate in the war of aggression was to rob money, rape women, and live an addiction to burning, killing, and looting that could not be satisfied in Japan. As for allegiance to the emperor and the establishment of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, for them they are all idle nonsense, and the old devils of these special divisions and regiments have ruined the Chinese, and they are more ruthless and do more bad things than those permanent divisions and garrison divisions. It's just that the 1st, 1st, 0th, and 9th Divisions in history were demobilized and disbanded early, and the bad things they did were covered up by the bad things of those permanent divisions.

The officers of the 118th Brigade wanted to hurry up the mountain to look for Liu Yimin's relics, and if they could find Liu Yimin's guns, binoculars, and other things, and take them back to Tokyo, they could not only ask His Majesty the Emperor for merit, but also show them off in front of relatives and friends, and even put them up for auction as collectibles. Those soldiers wanted to hurry up and grab the money, you must know that Liu Yimin had robbed all the Japanese-funded banks and Japanese-funded enterprises in Tianjin, Qingdao, and Jinan, and he would go to Xi'an, the plane must be full of gold, silver and jewelry, and grab some of them and quietly bring them back to Japan, then they would make a fortune.

Kuroda is a Cao commander of the 118th Brigade Signal Team, and his communication squad is tasked with driving a three-wheeled motorcycle to deliver orders, which is actually the herald in the squadron.

At this moment, Cao Chang Kuroda looked at the mountain beam with two eyes, a harazi on his lips, and cursed His Excellency the captain one after another in his heart.

In Kuroda's opinion, the communication team does all the drudgery, and I think of them when I need to run errands, and no one can think of them when I play flower girls and grab money and goods. The most intolerable thing for Kuroda is that even if others bully them, even the stupid pig of His Excellency the Captain bullied them. No, everyone knows that Liu Yimin died on the mountain in front of him, and if he is lucky, he can find a bundle of dollars, yen, renminbi or a box of gold bars, and if he is not lucky, he can also find ten yuan and eight silver dollars. The captain was good, he led the people up, but let his squad stay to guard the motorcycles and communication equipment. I Kuroda was born as a handicraft owner, and the lacquerware produced in my family's workshop was famous all over Japan, and I was a farmer who planted rice for a day, and I went to give a gift to His Excellency the Chief of Staff in charge of the communications corps, and asked him to integrate you into the combat unit and eat the work of the guns of the Eighth Route Army early

When Kuroda was secretly cursing His Excellency the captain in his heart, he inadvertently turned his head, and a strange figure appeared in the hitomi.

In fact, it is not surprising that a tall, white, and particularly handsome second lieutenant suddenly came to his side.

Of course, there was also a strange thing, that is, in addition to carrying a pistol and a command knife, the second lieutenant also carried two long guns on his back, a heavy canvas bag in his left hand, and a spear that he had never seen before in his right hand.

This was just an air ambush battle in which the air force intercepted Liu Yimin's plane formation, and Liu Yimin's plane and escort fighters had all been destroyed, and Liu Yimin was the only one who successfully parachuted and fought with a rifle against the imperial army. Now that Liu Yimin has been killed, there is no enemy left, and all the units of the 118th Brigade are busy rushing up the hills to clean up the battlefield.

As soon as Kuroda wanted to ask if he had seen Liu Yimin's body, he saw that the second lieutenant put the canvas bag in his hand into the pocket of his motorcycle, and he also got on the motorcycle, half-grasped his right hand, stretched out his index finger and middle finger to point forward, and said to Kuroda who was surprised: "Yours, send me back to the headquarters." Hurry up and open the way"

Kuroda said in his heart, which way are you an immortal, the official is not big, the style is not small, and you don't ask what our task is, just get out of the way, am I so unlucky, can I be bullied by anyone?

The veteran Yatsuko Kuroda asked in a mocking tone, "Your Excellency, you have to let me know who you are, right?" If we are like you, do we need to convey orders to His Excellency the Brigade Commander? ”

The second lieutenant said unceremoniously: "I have known you for a long time, and we were conscripted into the army together." I am the eldest son of Professor Kato's family at Kanazawa Medical University and serve in the 119th Wing. I have an urgent matter to go to the division headquarters to report to His Excellency the division commander, and I will ask you to help because you are a fellow countryman. If you change someone else, you can't give it to me if you want to. ”

As soon as Kuroda heard that he was the eldest son of Professor Kato's family at Kanazawa Medical University, his attitude immediately changed, and he quickly pretended to look like a Japanese person when he saw a guest, and bowed deeply: "Kato-kun, I'm sorry for your trouble." Thank you for your first meeting. ”

The second lieutenant looked impatient, and waved his hand: "Don't be wordy, quickly open the way"

After all, Kuroda was on a mission, and he couldn't leave casually without an order, so he was a little embarrassed and hesitated not to start the motorcycle.

The second lieutenant may have seen Kuroda's thoughts, beckoned, called Kuroda to his side, and whispered in his ear: "I found Liu Yimin's weapons, and these three spears are his." I want to go to the division headquarters and present it directly to His Excellency the division commander, and the merit is great, and the reward is great. If the brigade commander, wing commander, group leader, and squadron leader find out, they will take my loot, and the credit and bounty will be theirs. What do you think? Fellow villagers in Kanazawa, would you like to send me to the division headquarters? I will give you one-fifth of the reward money, and I can ask the division commander to promote your position and rank. If you want to do it, we'll go. If you don't do it, I'll find someone else. Time is tight, and when the chiefs come down, we won't be able to leave."

When Kuroda heard this, it turned out that this was the case, and then glanced at the second lieutenant's canvas bag and the spear he carried, yes, it was indeed not a weapon of the imperial army, it turned out that the reason why Liu Yimin's marksmanship was so good was because he had a better gun than the 38 big cover

Kuroda has a smile on his face, this is sent by the God of Wealth, let the captain's stupid pigs go up the hill tired, the real loot has been delivered to my Kuroda. It's just that this one-fifth share is too small, and I have to negotiate the price with Second Lieutenant Kato, and I can't cheapen him.

Kuroda touched the short mustache on his lips and held out five fingers to Second Lieutenant Kato.

Second Lieutenant Kato was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to understand that this old devil was negotiating with him, so he went up and grabbed Kuroda Caochang's hand and pressed his thumb, index finger and middle finger back.

Kuroda shook his head and stubbornly stretched out his index and middle fingers, stretching out a total of four fingers, meaning to ask for a bounty of forty percent.

Second Lieutenant Kato looked at Kuroda and went up and pressed his index finger back, meaning only for Sansei.

Kuroda argued for a long time, turned the bounty that Second Lieutenant Kato said was one-fifth of his into thirty percent, and was happy, and called the other soldiers in the communications squad and told them that Second Lieutenant Kato was going to deliver an urgent order, and he sent Second Lieutenant Kato to carry out the mission, so that the other soldiers could stick to their posts and wait for His Excellency the Captain to return.

After the explanation, Kuroda got on the motorcycle, and after starting, he carried Ensign Kato and ran away along the road.

Along the way, Kuroda opened up the conversation and talked with Second Lieutenant Kato about Kanazawa's scenery, from the textile industry to rice cultivation, from the world-famous sweets to the sweet and sour rice wine, and from the men's river Rhikawa to the women's river Asanogawa. In the end, Second Lieutenant Kato thought that compared with the Jin Temple in Taiyuan, the Kanazawa Famous Garden and the Sixth Garden were less dignified in history, after all, the history of Kanazawa was too short. Kuroda Caocho believed that Kanazawa's lacquerware lacked the heaviness of lacquer harvested from the natural forest compared to the lacquerware craftsmanship in Pingyao City, Shanxi, and that when he returned to Japan in the future, he must think of arresting a few Chinese lacquer craftsmen, snatching a boatload of Chinese lacquer and bringing it back to Japan, turning his father's lacquerware workshop into a large lacquerware factory, and encouraging the Imperial Army soldiers to loot Chinese lacquer and tung oil on a large scale and hand it over to his father's lacquerware factory to produce high-grade lacquerware.

In the end, Kuroda felt that the conversation with Ensign Kato was becoming more and more speculative, and even said that he had raped and killed several Chinese women after he arrived in China, and even said that when he returned to China, he must snatch two Chinese girls and bring them back to Japan, and be his servants during the day and his playthings at night

Because it was a war year, the Eighth Route Army often destroyed traffic, dirt roads and mountain roads, full of potholes, plus they had to constantly accept the interrogation of devil posts along the way, to make way for the devil troops who were marching, and the motorcycles could not run at all, but slightly faster than marching on foot. I ran until four o'clock in the afternoon, and when I saw the big word Huozhou on the gate of Huo County, Liu Yimin, who was disguised as Second Lieutenant Kato, realized that he had gone all the way south to Huozhou from Han Xinling in the south of Lingshi.

Thinking about the time when he led the instructor to the north to resist the Japanese, he once went north from Huozhou and passed by Han Xinling, Liu Yimin felt that he was a little dizzy during this time, and he even forgot the road he had walked. However, this is not bad, let Kuroda lead the way, and easily find the location of the headquarters of the 10th and 9th Divisions, which can avenge Li Chengyi and them.

Kuroda is from the 118th Division's communications team, and often goes to the 109th Division's headquarters to do business, and he is very familiar with people, and he led Liu Yimin into Huozhou City very smoothly.

At this time, Liu Yimin was not in a hurry, he told Kuroda to find a place to eat well, take a bath, and sleep first, and then go to the division headquarters to report.

Kuroda now feels that he and Second Lieutenant Kato are his own people who are in business partnerships, and naturally agrees with his proposal. However, this Huo county town is different from other places, before the Japanese army occupied it, strict fortified walls were implemented, and the people in the city ran away. Later, although some people could not give up their family business one after another and returned to the county seat, our army in Shanxi was strong, and the Eighth Route Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the Central Army were staggered, and the life of the little devil was very difficult. There is a huge Huo county town, and it is very deserted.

Liu Yimin has a strong taste and likes to eat northern noodles, so he led Kuroda into a deserted knife-cut noodle restaurant, asked for two large bowls of knife-cut noodles and two stir-fried vegetables, and told the boss to put more spicy seeds and vinegar.

The restaurant was deserted, the master was idle, and the meal was quickly ready.

When eating, I listened to the noise of gongs and drums in the street, and when I looked out of the door, I saw the Yangge twisting and rowing boats passing in front of the door. Liu Yimin asked the boss in half-intelligible Chinese, what is a good day today, there are a lot of Yangge twisters on the street?

The boss hurriedly said: "Report to Taijun, it was the imperial army that ordered the twisting of Yangge, and it was to celebrate the killing of Liu Yimin, the head instructor of the Tubalu Sect, by the imperial army." I started in the morning and twisted it all the way to the present. Listen to them, the order of the imperial army was to celebrate for three days in a row. ”

As soon as Liu Yimin heard this, he knew that the little devil had done a new trick again, and after eating three times and two times, he took out a one-yuan joint coupon from his pocket, threw it on the table, and took Kuroda to a hotel opened by a Japanese, let Kuroda register the room, and after settling down, he went into the bathhouse to take a bath.

Kuroda, this guy, can't be sassy, and when he took a bath, he repeatedly asked Second Lieutenant Kato to take him to receive comfort, Liu Yimin thought about it and told Kuroda to give him an hour to accept comfort. After the comfort was over, I hurriedly went to refuel the motorcycle, and two hours later we met in the room to meet the commander of the division headquarters and ask for an audience with His Excellency the division commander.

When Kuroda heard this, he washed it a few times and left in a hurry.

Liu Yimin took a bath until six o'clock in the evening. The reason is that the little devils who came to take a bath kept discussing the matter of the 118th Brigade and the Imperial Army fighters cooperating to kill Liu Yimin today, and Liu Yimin really wanted to hear how the little devils bragged, so he had to listen patiently to the little devils' nonsense.

Seeing that the lights and candles have been lit in the bathhouse, there are fewer and fewer little devils who come to take a bath, Liu Yimin made a move. First, he crushed the throats of the dozen or so little devils who were taking a bath one by one, then got dressed, crushed all the Japanese bosses and servants in the bathhouse, found a rag, dipped it in the blood of the little devils, and wrote on the floor "Liu Yimin killed the Japanese invaders here" Eight big characters, then blew out the lights of the bathhouse, closed the gate, and went back to the hotel to meet Kuroda.
