Chapter 459: Changing Identity

In contrast, the task of the Philippine Corps was much easier, with the 41st Army landing at the port of Kagoshima and the 42nd Army landing at Shimonoseki. The low combat effectiveness of this unit is terrifying, and the General Staff originally arranged for them to be responsible for guarding the transportation lines, airports and other military important places, but they did not expect that several transportation lines and warehouses were attacked by Japanese stragglers, and these Philippine legionnaires suffered heavy losses, even if they had stronger firepower and more soldiers, they simply escaped neatly under the decisive assault of the Japanese soldiers.

The poor performance irritated the Chinese officers of the Philippine Legion, and neither the shooting of deserters nor the establishment of stricter rules could prevent the defeat of the Filipino Legion. For example, there is a rule that if a Filipino legionnaire escapes or does not obey orders, he will be shot, as will the adult men of his family. But these are useless, these people are like Adou who can't be helped, born soft eggs, who subconsciously turn around and run away when they hear the gunshots.

In desperation, the General Staff had no choice but to transfer him and replace him with soldiers from the Korean Army and the Ryukyu Division, and he could not let the elite Chinese soldiers stay in the rear and waste their troops -- one of the purposes of this war was to temper the combat effectiveness of the Chinese soldiers.

"Let them get out of here, and don't waste our precious logistics by staying in Japan any longer!" Here Lu Liang came to the conclusion after learning about this, and then the peak turned around, and when the 5th Infantry Regiment of the 41st Army retreated, he encountered an ordinary Japanese village. There were no Japanese soldiers, not even adult men, but after the crossing of the 5th Infantry Regiment the village became a ghost, and not a single living creature could be seen.

After the massacre was reported, Lu Liang, who was crooked-minded, discovered the usefulness of the Philippine Legion, whose combat effectiveness was inferior, and they had no burden to massacre humans of the same race. The Japanese archipelago was full of the Emperor's order to "break 100 million trillion jades," every village swore allegiance to the Emperor, and many men from villages and towns launched sneak attacks on the Chinese soldiers, attacking convoys, even though the men were all under 15 years old and over 45 years old - still causing a lot of trouble for the Chinese army.

"All hostile Japanese are enemies, and only dead Japanese are good Japanese" Many quotations of President Lu Liang circulated in the army, most of which were related to Japan, and many people thought that it was the First Sino-Japanese War and subsequent wars that caused the president's hatred of Japan, and no one knew how much damage Japan had caused to China in later generations. The pet dog that has been raised for ten years suddenly bit back, and also tore off a lot of flesh and blood, and did not bite the owner to death. After that, the dog did not admit to biting people, it lowered its head and tried to continue biting. The rabbit country of later generations is not angry, but this time and space can teach this biting dog a good lesson!

Nearly 60,000 Filipino soldiers from the two armies received new orders, and they were happily carrying revolving pull-back rifles, bayonets and bullet pouches pinned to their waists, wearing canvas ear protectors, riding bicycles, and a company with a Maxim heavy machine gun. After receiving the location of "non-cooperative villages and towns" instructed by his superiors, he pounced viciously.

In a small town with many people in the past, the twelve-year-old boy Uchiha Flowing Water, who was in charge of observation, suddenly saw that on the hillside outside the town, the signal tree was pushed up. He hurried to the cherry blossom tree beside him, and struck the broken gong hanging on it, and after a rapid screeching sound, the street was filled with panicked crowds, most of them old and young, women and children, with the assistance of several reserve soldiers, with large bags and small bags to flee for their lives outside the town.

The father became a reserve soldier to serve on the front line, the elder brother had already died in the sea battle, and even the men in the family were rare, and the rest were young children and old people with limited mobility, and the twelve-year-old Uchiha Flowing Water turned out to be the pillar of the family! Those hateful, greedy, and demonic dark Chinese soldiers (Filipino soldiers) killed people when they saw them, robbed them when they saw them, and went up to women when they saw them, regardless of their age and appearance. Their notoriety had spread throughout the island of Kyushu, so with the help of scattered Japanese soldiers, most of the villages and towns had set up military protection organizations - in fact, a few boy scouts under the command of an old man in his fifties had warned in advance and then organized an escape.

After many rounds of hunting, the Filipino soldiers finally learned to use some simple tactics, and only a part of them appeared directly in front of the small town, and there were also a large number of Filipino soldiers in other directions of the small town. They approached the Japanese civilians like hungry wolves, saliva from greed could be seen at the corners of their mouths, and Filipino soldiers shot more than 400 meters away, which meant to intimidate and drive them away.

"Brother, brother, there are Chinese soldiers everywhere, and I can't get out!" A boy about eleven years old hurried to the Uchiha Flowing Water from the front, in fact, there was no need to report, he had already seen the crowd running out and running back again.

"Running water, come here!" A man in his fifties waved at the flowing water: "Take the woman and the child and hide in the shrine in the middle of the village, and don't come out no matter what happens!" ”

It was the patriarch of the Uchiha family who spoke, and the flowing water was not a child who didn't know anything, and the war had deprived the family of its pillars, and it had also allowed these half-grown children to grow up quickly. The patriarch had told himself before that if something was wrong, he would hide in the shrine and the adults would block the enemy. Uchiha Shimiku knew that the adults who blocked the enemy would definitely not survive, but if he angered those Chinese soldiers, even the old people, women and children hiding in the shrine would not survive!

At the moment when thousands of people crowded into the shrine, several gunshots were heard outside, and then very dense gunfire, and even the howls of Filipino soldiers mixed with excitement could be heard in the flowing water. The shrine was filled with exclamations, followed by the cries of young children and women, powerless to respond to the scene.

After a few minutes, the gunfire died down, which meant that the already weak resistance was completely over, and the adults of those clans could not survive! This was proved by the Filipino soldiers who later appeared in front of the shrine - their bayonets had the head of the patriarch on them.

The Filipino soldiers, under the command of the officers, completely surrounded the shrine, several heavy machine guns were placed around, and a jeep drove in from the outside and stopped in front of the encirclement. The Filipino soldiers respectfully bowed to the Chinese officers in the jeep, their faces pure like young children in the shrine, and they did not see the stinginess of burning, killing and looting at all.

The Chinese officer wore sunglasses and did not get out of the car, waving his hand to the side, and a man with a different figure from those thin Japanese came out with a smile on his face, bowed his head for a while, and then changed his face towards the shrine, and shouted loudly in Japanese: "Listen to the people inside, there is only one way to die if you resist the rule of China, whether it is an old man or a woman." As long as you hand over the information about the wounded Japanese soldiers or the hiding places, they will open up to you! ”

The shouting lasted for ten minutes, and the Japanese interpreter's mouth was dry, and he did not dare to turn back and ask for water. He was originally a small businessman, and he scoffed at the way he believed in the emperor, and the interests he believed in were his own mother as long as they could bring benefits to him. So immediately after the Chinese occupied his hometown, he became a loyal servant of the Chinese, and in fact most of the Japanese subordinates currently owned by the Chinese army were made up of local merchants.

The Japanese civilians were much more backbone than the Chinese civilians in the original time and space, for example, there were not many Japanese prisoners and Japanese traitors who voluntarily surrendered at the current stage of the battle -- those Japanese businessmen were not counted. For example, every time the anti-Chinese villages and towns are cleared, no villagers can be found who take the initiative to reveal the Japanese attackers, and a certain author prefers to believe that history is like the description in Jiang's movie, rather than a certain film studio's tall and comprehensive revision.

"My lord, there is no reply, you see?" The interpreter looked back at the Chinese officer sitting in the jeep tremblingly, licked his dry lips with his tongue, and his obscene appearance made the Chinese officer feel nauseous.

This is the last errand he wants to take over, although the Philippine Legion is asked to do these shady things instead of the Chinese soldiers, but the Philippine Legion must have a Chinese officer in charge. In desperation, the Chinese officer became the same executioner as those Filipino soldiers.

Just as he was about to give the order to shoot, he suddenly noticed a teenage boy walking out of the shrine, his breath was short, his cheeks were red from nervousness, and his steps were slow, presumably for fear of being shot and killed—those demonic enemies could definitely do it.

Flowing Water wanted to say something, he wanted the enemy to know that he was going to surrender, to confess a Japanese straggler rallying point, but he was so scared that his mouth seemed to be sticky, and he couldn't say anything, just moved his legs like a machine.

There was a sound of pulling the bolt of the gun, causing Flowing Water to sit on the ground in fright, and then the laughter of Filipino soldiers could be heard all around.

"I, we, we surrender. I know, that. Uchiha Shimiku finally spoke with difficulty, he knew that the lives of the thousands of people in the shrine were in his own hands, or whether he could persuade the enemy not to shoot. Thinking of this, Liushui's mouth seems to be much sharper.

"What's that, say it slowly, don't be in a hurry." As if remembering his younger brother at home, the Chinese officer walked to the jeep, squatted down and said to the flowing water with a smile.

"My name is Sun Chuanfang, what's your name?"

"Uchiha running water." The child who answered could not have imagined that he would become the prime minister of Japan in more than 30 years, and the idea of surrendering to China sprouted from this moment, perhaps he was a pacifist in his bones, and now he took the initiative to stand up and did not want his people to die. As for allegiance to the emperor, those things have already given their lives by their father and brother, and they need to make some other plans. (To be continued.) )
