Youpeng of Shan County understood that Dashan Yan was telling the truth, and he trembled for a while, and finally lowered his hand holding the gun.

From time to time, stray bullets came over, and Dashan Yan pulled Shan County Youpeng to hide in the grass.

Soon after the fierce battle, the battlefield calmed down, as if everyone had died, and there were only hundreds of hideous and terrifying corpses on the ground, and the blood gushing from their bodies also stained the dirt and grass red.

Lin Yiqing watched all this calmly, his heart was still beating at a high speed, it was so bloody and tense just now that it was difficult for him to breathe, but in this moment, he seemed to find some kind of mysterious tranquility, as if a divine voice was calling him from the sky, and the holy light shone on him, washing away the hatred and anger in his heart.

He took a deep breath, and the air with gunpowder smoke poured into his hot heart and lungs, allowing the boiling blood in his body to gradually subside, and a cool flow flowed through his body.

He glanced at the bloody battlefield, and around him, there were nearly a hundred people lying on the wide white snow, about half of whom still had their last breath, or had not suffered fatal wounds, and some could have continued to fight, but their will had collapsed, and they were struggling and wailing, begging others to save them.

Whether it is a Japanese or a German, the instinct to survive is equally strong at this moment of terrible death.

Realizing that the Japanese soldiers lying there waiting for death still had the possibility of giving everyone a fatal blow, the members of the Odd Soldiers invariably drew their knives and examined the fallen government soldiers one by one. It doesn't matter if the other party is dead or alive. As long as it's not fatal, get a stab in the throat or chest.

Lin Yiqing cleaned up the battlefield with everyone. It's just that he behaved more cold-blooded, more deadly, and more careful, and while he was doing all this, he did not neglect to observe his surroundings, and kept mentally counting the number of Germans and Japanese officers.

Youpeng of Shanxian County, who was hiding in the shadows, watched Lin Yiqing's fatal stab down, and cowered in his hiding place. For a while, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to act rashly.

When Lin Yiqing emptied the Gatling machine gun just now, several Japanese soldiers pounced on him, but Youpeng in Shan County watched them all be wiped out in a few seconds! At that moment, he was already scared to death, and even the slightest thought of resistance was extinguished.

Is there such a terrible person in this world?

Is he still human?

"Let's ......," Dashan Yan whispered.

Shan Shan Youpeng came back to his senses, he was about to sneak with Dashan Yan, but suddenly found that his pants were hot and wet, he was stunned for a moment, and then realized what had happened. I couldn't help but feel purple.

Dashan Yan also noticed the strangeness of Yama Prefecture Youpeng, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he alertly observed the surrounding situation, and then disappeared into the forest with Youpeng of Shan County, and ran wildly for his life.

When Captain Takeo Ishihara arrived at the headquarters early, he learned that his immediate superior, Lieutenant General Michikani Nozu, had come for a meeting—the usual makeshift operational meeting to discuss the marching procedures and some of the shortcomings and problems that had been discovered and should be eliminated.

At this time, everyone noticed the general's depressed application. Although he said the usual things, about the equipment of the soldiers and about the cleaning and polishing of the weapons, etc., he seemed to be thinking about something else at the same time, and he often stopped and stammered as he spoke, and his slight stuttering - a consequence of the blow he had been wounded by the explosion of a shell during the war in Kobe last year - was particularly evident today.

After the meeting adjourned, the general's wife, Mrs. Yuko, came closely. She invited the officers to have breakfast with the generals, and tried her best to smile, saying, "This is the last time I will prepare breakfast for everyone." ”

Takeo Ishihara was surprised to hear her words, but the general was expressionless.

"It's an order, don't say it again." Nozu Michikan looked at his wife who couldn't hide his sad look, and said with a hard heart.

The general's order was actually completely unexpected by the officers and Mrs. Yuko herself. In everyone's opinion, the general and his wife are a model of loving husband and wife, and nothing can separate them, but now the general actually asked his wife to leave, so everyone was surprised.

The officers sat down at the table, which is usually lively at the table of the hospitable Mrs. Yuko, but today there was no such atmosphere. They were all talking softly, and they were all talking about other things.

Nozu Michikani had been silent, just glancing at Mrs. Yuko from time to time, Mrs. Yuko came to his side, while looking at him with anxious eyes, while asking softly something, the general just nodded, and said vigorously, "Well, I know, nothing, nothing ......"

According to the general's order, she was prepared with a transport carriage. The general's guards loaded Mrs. Yuko's luggage into the carriage. Mrs. Yuko said goodbye to the officers one by one, and then she got into the carriage.

The officers all stood on the steps, silently watching all this. The coachman pulled the reins, and Nozu Michikan walked side by side with the transport wagon.

"The shoe brush and shoe polish are in the pouch on the left side of the back. The servants know. The comb is in the gown, remember, you always have to keep it there, and when you use it, put it back in its original place. You have nine handkerchiefs, change one every other day. The pair of deer-striped leather boots are still being repaired, and they can be repaired today, so let the servants wear them, and the calfskin ones are repaired, and the right heel is completely worn. It's better to have someone fix it - they're all in a suitcase. Mrs. Yuko looked at the general and said reluctantly, "Don't sleep too late at night, and ...... three meals regularly."

"I know." Nozu Michikani nodded.

"If you have news from Natsumi, you must tell me quickly......" Mrs. Yuko couldn't help but choke up when she talked about her daughter.

"Don't worry!" When Nozu Michikani heard his daughter's name, his heart twitched, and he responded calmly.

When the carriage turned behind a hill and the village vanished, the coachman stopped the carriage. At this time, the people behind were far from following, and Mrs. Yuko jumped out of the car. Tears in the eyes. hugged the general.

Takeo Ishihara happened to see this scene. He knew that the general and his wife were always reluctant to part, so he turned around, and the coachman, sitting in the carriage, also turned around with amusement, and looked intently at the horse's tail.

Takeo Ishihara didn't want to disturb the farewell between Nozu Michikan and Mrs. Yuko, so he set off with everyone and walked back. The horses walked slowly on the damp dirt road, and the fields were covered with wet patches. A fierce storm swirled over it. The road was deserted, and a few lonely carriages occasionally passed. One stopped, and three people stepped out of the car onto the dirt road. The carriage drove forward, but the people stood, lit cigarettes and smoked them, and then calmly walked towards Takeo Ishihara.

"Captain Ishihara!" One of them called out to him.

Takeo Ishihara stopped. Smiling in front of him stood a familiar scout, Captain Minoru Kamei, who was a distant brother of the Gongqing's family, and because of his tutoring, he was always polite to others. As usual, unusually polite.

"Nice to see you." Kamei said with a smile, "Are you stationed near here?" ”

"Yes, in the neighboring village," Ishihara Takeo pointed not far away, and then asked, "Are our troops going to stay here for a long time?" ”

"No one knows," said Kamei, "that we're going to the medical camp now." Our chief is there to heal. As if remembering something, Kamei exclaimed, "Captain Ishihara! You saved him! Let's go see him, he'll be happy, he asked about you the other day. ”

Takeo Ishihara said solemnly, "This is nothing. ”

It was a battle not long ago, and Takeo Ishihara met with Takeo Yoshioka, the leader of the 2nd Brigade Drawing Knife Team and a reconnaissance team, when Takeo Yoshioka was wounded and unable to move, so Takeo Ishihara carried him on his back and risked being caught by a small force of the Satsuma Army, bringing him back to the unit safely and taking him to the hospital.

For Ishihara Takeo, his ability to "save people" is far greater than his ability to fight, and as an ordinary young soldier, he can have the rank of captain in the army now, thanks to his and a companion's act of saving Yuko, the wife of General Nozu Michikan, and sending her to the general safely.

Now, the companion Yoshida Rishi, who had escorted his wife out of danger with him, has also become a captain......

This time he saved Takeo Yoshioka, in fact, to win the officer's friendship.

He has never forgotten the task that Lin Yiqing gave him as a former "Tokyo Lion" who surrendered to Chengcheng......

"Would you like to come with us to see him?" Captain Minoru Kamei asked again.

"Of course, you show me the way!" Takeo Ishihara said.

"Great! He'll be glad to see you! Kamei said, "Oh, I beg your pardon! I forgot the introduction...... This is Nobunaga Kobayashi, a reporter accompanying the army...... My deputy, Lieutenant Atsushi Nakagami...... This is Captain Takeo Ishihara. ”

Takeo Ishihara walked side by side with them. They turned into a cross-path, and in the distance they could see the red tiles on the roof of the village and the minaret of a small temple. Then came the white tents of the medical camps, the smoke of the stoves wafting above them.

When Takeo Ishihara saw the tent, he couldn't help but be in awe, this is the feeling that any wounded soldier will have. The medical camp will always remain the most vivid memory in people's hearts. A wounded man was brought here from the place where the fighting was most intense, and was immediately laid on a white sheet, changed into clean underwear, given a bottle of sake, bandaged with soft hands, wiped away congealed blood with soft gauze, and moistened his burning forehead with water. The contrast to what he had just endured in battle was so stark, and the feeling of relief was so strong, that he felt a deep sense of gratitude when he saw the star-white tent of the medical camp later.

Takeo Ishihara walked into the medical camp. The figure of a woman in a white blouse flashed everywhere. The female parametrics ran past the officers, all smiling kindly at them,

A female paramedic recognized Minoru Kamei and said to him, "Major Yoshioka of the Guards Brigade has been waiting for you all morning!" ”

"Did you change his bandages in the morning?" Minoru Kamei asked.

"Changed." The female caregiver replied.

Minoru Kamei stood next to a tent. "Major Yoshioka is here," he said to Takeo Ishihara.

Takeo Ishihara followed them into the tent. They were greeted by a female nurse with rosy cheeks, who gave them blouses. Guided them behind a canvas screen.

Takeo Yoshioka sat in a hospital bed. Emaciated face. The expression is stern. But when he recognized Takeo Ishihara, he was happy.

"You may be seated! I didn't expect to see you here! ”

Everyone sat down on the chairs next to the beds. Minoru Kamei walked outside the screen to find the female nurse, and he quietly inquired about Takeo Yoshioka's condition as usual. When someone in the family fell ill and called a doctor, Kamei's mother did just that. Kamei Minoru unconsciously imitated his mother's appearance, and also asked Takeo Yoshioka in a low voice and carefully, asking meticulously.

Nobunaga Kobayashi gave Takeo Yoshioka the latest issues of the newspaper. Atsushi Nakagami cautiously looked around, even looking out the small window to see if there was a doctor nearby, and then stuffed a bottle of wine under Takeo Yoshioka's pillow.

"Hey. No," said Takeo Yoshioka, "why did you hide it?" Let's drink it now. ”

Takeo Yoshioka was alone in a tent, with no other wounded. Takeo Yoshioka was left behind for treatment in a medical camp, which was not possible. His injuries were not minor, and he belonged to the Guards Brigade, and Kamito was reluctant to let him be separated from his scouts, as he might be transferred from the hospital to another brigade.

When Minoru Kamei returned with the female nurse, Atsushi Nakagami whispered something in her ear. She shook her head, but left immediately. After a while, she brought a few glasses. In the same way, he looked in all directions, so that he would not be seen by the doctor.

After drinking, they all sat silently and let themselves rest for a while, as was often the case with those who temporarily left the battle on the forward positions.

The caregiver brought them a few more biscuits and a pot of hot tea. Takeo Ishihara smelled the tea and felt that everything was so quiet, warm and comfortable.

After the female caregiver left, Minoru Kamei took a sip of wine, looked around, and after making sure that no one else was present, he whispered to Takeo Yoshioka, "Do you know? General of Shan County...... I was dismissed. ”

"Oh?" Hearing his words, Takeo Yoshioka and Takeo Ishihara were stunned.

"This is absolutely true, General Shan County has been dismissed, and now all the troops on the front line will be under the command of Lieutenant General Dashanyan." Kamei said.

"How did you hear this?" Takeo Ishihara asked. He knew that Minoru Kamei, who was a child of the Gongqing family, although he was only a small captain now, was much more well-informed than him.

"You don't know, do you? On that day, it was I who rescued General Yama and General Oyama, and at that time, General Yama Prefecture told me that he was finished. I didn't understand what he meant at first, but I later learned that he knew he was going to be dismissed. ”

"You rescued two generals? What's going on? Takeo Yoshioka asked curiously.

"I met the two generals when I was scouting, and the two of them were exhausted when they ran, and I asked them what happened, only to know that it was the headquarters of the general of Shan County, which was attacked by the thief army." Kamei Minoru said with a mysterious expression,

@#$^&())(*&%^$#&$%^&*((*&*&%

The "Brave" and "Fender", which fired the first round of 10 torpedoes at the Balearics, quickly joined the fire with the "Balearics", and they could not turn to retreat, as this would cause the "Balearics" to follow suit, thus reducing the chances of a successful torpedo attack. The fire of the two minecatchers undoubtedly revealed their position, thus facilitating the aiming of the heavy cruisers, and when the fire control officer of the "Balearics" had just calculated the exact distance between the two and was about to report it to the four main turrets, the heavy cruiser suddenly shook - two heavy flames rose from the stern of the ship, and were hit!

Even if the "Balearics" had more than 10,000 tons of heads, the two warheads each filled with 200 kilograms of high-energy high explosives collided at a high speed of 50 knots, which could not be resisted by a hull of more than 10,000 tons. The 70 mm thick side armor belt and the 60 mm thick armor of the ammunition depot were like two layers of tin foil in the face of a violent explosion, and the ammunition depot was detonated at the first time, and the shock wave rushed into the turret in just half a second with the ammunition lifting shaft, and with the first chain explosion, the X turret was first pulled away from the turret by the shock wave, and flew up to a height of more than 100 meters with the skyrocketing fire, and then it was heavily buckled back to the sea surface that had been illuminated by the flames. Immediately afterwards, the Y turret also followed in the footsteps of the X turret and exploded to the foredeck of a transport ship eighty meters away, and the huge potential energy was converted into kinetic energy and directly smashed the bow of the transport ship, and the fire immediately rose from the breach. The speed of the "Balearics", which lost two turrets at once, suddenly fell, the power of the whole ship was cut off, the whole ship fell into total darkness, all the guns were inoperable, and the entire heavy cruiser was paralyzed on the surface of the sea like a dying killer whale.

When the "Brave Warrior" and "Fen Yong" succeeded in attacking the "Balearics", the three salvos of the "Brave Brave" and the "Loyal Brave" had already turned the destroyer "Chuluka" into a dragon of fire, and the captain of the ship, Lieutenant Commander Prado, had just given the order to open fire from the main guns when two 130-mm shells hit the bridge were blown away along with the entire bridge, and no bones remained.
