Chapter 423: Forcing Iga to Rebel

"That's good! Let's get out of here now! "Uehara Yusaku knows that now is not the time to chat with the little girl in front of him, danger is everywhere, and the most important thing for them now is to quickly join up with the troops of the other side, so he proposed to Kamiya Kira.

"Hey!" Kamiya Kira raised his hand solemnly and gave a Western-style military salute to Yusaku Uehara, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly.

Yusaku Uehara didn't think about why she was so happy to see herself on such a terrible battlefield, his attention was still on the battle, he pointed to the sniper rifle with a scope dropped by the Russian sniper not far away, and said, "That kind of gun is very useful, you can take it!" Collect the bullets he was carrying, and I'll show you how to use them. It's not okay to not know how to use a gun on the battlefield. ”

"Understood!" Kamiya Kira nodded happily, ran quickly to pick up the sniper rifle, and then searched out all the ammunition on the Russian sniper, put it into an ammunition bag, and tied it to his body.

Yusaku Uehara saw Kira Kamiya learning from his own example, not only carrying the sniper rifle with a scope, but also carrying a Mosin Nagant rifle, she couldn't help but feel a little strange, she seemed to see the doubt in his eyes, and said with a smile: "This gun is taken for Captain Uehara, once you meet the enemy, if Captain Uehara's gun is not enough, you can immediately change the one I take." ”

Yusaku Uehara understood, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, "Girls are really more careful than men!" He nodded, but watched her small carrying two rifles taller than her and a heavy ammo bag, and wondered if she would be able to bear the weight when she walked.

What amazed him. Kamiya Kira carried these cumbersome guns and ammunition. But when he walks, he walks like a fly. Very agile, Yusaku Uehara, who was trained in the Naval Academy and participated in many actual battles, walked on the mountain road, but he couldn't keep up with her.

He now somewhat understands why she and her companions have not been captured by the Russian army since they were separated.

In addition to having a powerful weapon like the Thunder Flame Bullet, her agility and good running are also important reasons.

Yusaku Uehara led Kira Kamiya in the direction where the gunshots came from in the distance, as he passed by a grass house. He suddenly wanted to go in and take a break. He felt too tired at this moment! A foot behind the grass house, there are two trees, and the grass under the trees is very flat, so it should be a good place to rest.

I'm really tired and really want to take a break, it's a desire and a luxury. Now there is no one else on the battlefield except him and the little girl ninja beside him.

"Let's take a break!" Yusaku Uehara said to Kira Kamiya.

"Okay!" Kamiya Kira was completely subservient to Yusaku Uehara, and there was no objection, and the two did not enter the grass house. Instead, he found a big tree and sat down under it.

The tree that Yusaku Uehara leaned on grew well. It was not destroyed by the shells fired by the warring sides. It is very good and appears to have been almost undamaged. Half of the thatched house is under its shade.

When Yusaku Uehara sat under the tree and looked at its slanted hanging branches, he was a little dazed. Gradually, he felt nothing but tiredness, which could be described as extreme fatigue. The overdraft of his physical strength and the baptism of blood and fire just now made him want to sleep deeply. How nice it is to lean on this trunk like this, comfortable, and when you wake up from sleep, you may not be able to see the flames of war, and all the battles and killings that have been experienced have disappeared with the past of your dreams.

He had experienced so much in these few hours, or in a given moment in those few hours. He truly experienced what it means to be full of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield, what it means to have corpses all over the field, what it means to be tragic and tragic in the mountains, what it means to be earth-shattering, and what it means to be an instant of life and death...... Especially on the edge of life and death, there are some things that he doesn't have time to think about, out of instinct, a person will burst out of endless potential, and do things that he can't even imagine. He didn't realize that what had happened in those few hours could change the course of his life for the rest of his life.

I don't know how long it took, but he was woken up by the chatter of the Russian army, and he got up and looked around. The voice came from the grass house next to him, and he immediately became nervous. I was so careless that I fell asleep under this tree just now.

"It's Lucia!" Kamiya Kira said to Yusaku Uehara, who quickly took the two thunder bullets out of the cloth bag on her waist and put them in her hand, ready to start attacking.

"You should wake me up." Yusaku Uehara said to her with some annoyance. He had just fallen asleep, and if someone had attacked, she would not have shot, and it was likely that the two of them would have been killed.

"But, Captain Uehara...... You just kept your eyes open, huh? I thought...... You didn't sleep yet. Kamiya Kira said with some grievances.

"Oh? I keep my eyes open? Yusaku Uehara listened to her answer, and couldn't help laughing, no wonder she didn't call herself, it turned out that she was like Zhang Fei in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and she would fall asleep with her eyes open.

"I'm sorry, I blamed you." Yusaku Uehara said apologetically, took his sniper rifle, and glanced in the direction of the grass hut.

"It's okay!" Kamiya Kira smiled and waved his hand, his gaze turned to the grass house, "Leave these enemies to me!" It just so happens that I can show Captain Kamihara how to use the Thunder Flame Bullet. ”

Yusaku Uehara put down his sniper rifle and watched her movements curiously.

I saw Kamiya Kira pick up a thunder flame bullet and scratch the end of the short medicine line that stretched out of the body on the rough stone wall, only to see the medicine line immediately "snort" and burn, emitting a faint white smoke.

After holding the thunder flame in his hand for a while, Kamiya Kira threw it at the grass house with all his might.

Her strength was great, and her throwing was very accurate, and Yusaku Uehara saw that the thunder bullet fell into the window of the grass house at once, and then saw a flash of fire, and with an explosion, the window spewed out thick smoke, followed by a series of screams.

Kamiya Kira threw another thunder flame bullet, this time landing at the door of the grass house. Two Russian soldiers were still smoking. The moment he rushed out of the door. The thunder bomb exploded, and the two people covered their faces and screamed loudly and fell, rolled down the hillside, fell into the ditch, and did not move.

Yusaku Uehara only realized at this time that this thunder flame bullet was actually fired by friction.

Without bothering to ask in detail, Yusaku Uehara took advantage of the tree as a cover and pointed the muzzle of the gun in the direction of the grass house.

One more manpower. One more power. Although there should be a lot of enemies, with Kira Kamiya helping him, Yusaku Uehara is confident that he will destroy them all.

At this moment, there was a "bang" and a gunshot suddenly rang out. He heard the screams of the Russian army, and immediately after that, the gunfire was loud, and the explosion was fierce like fried beans. At the same time, he also heard the familiar "Kill!" of his own people. The roar.

In just an instant, fierce gunfire rang out. Then the stray bullets kept flying.

Kira Kamiya didn't throw any more thunder bullets, but hid by Yusaku Uehara's side.

"It's your own people!" Yusaku Uehara said to her happily.

Own. His own people, he was still thinking about his own people just now, and now, his own people have arrived!

Yusaku Uehara was so excited that he picked up his gun and rushed to the house. As soon as he rushed to the side of the grass house, he saw Satsuma soldiers jumping into the trench in front of him, and some people were shooting in his direction from the edge of the first trench.

His own people, he was excited again, and finally saw his own people!

The Russian soldiers relied on the trenches and fired back at the attacking Satsuma soldiers quite fiercely. There were three Russian soldiers in the cross-trench less than three meters in front of him, with their backs to him, one of them shooting, and the other two were cats going forward.

Yusaku Uehara also yelled in response: "Kill! "Two shots were fired in a row, and the two Russian soldiers who were moving with the cat's waist fell down first, and the one who shot was about to turn around, and Yusaku Uehara shot again, killing him too.

The sudden appearance of Yusaku Uehara caused the Russian army to suffer from the enemy's back, and the stubborn resistance of the Russians was instantly disrupted. The soldiers of the Satsuma Army suddenly received assistance, which greatly stimulated the combat nerves, and one by one they screamed louder, and jumped into the trenches bravely, and those who did not jump into the trenches also jumped into the trenches one after another while taking advantage of the panic of the Russian army.

Kamiya Kira threw a thunder bullet at the few Russian troops in the trench on the left who only showed their heads, and after an explosion, those Russian troops immediately fell, greatly reducing the resistance fire. Yusaku Uehara shot and killed two more Russian soldiers, and was about to rush over to join up with friendly troops, when suddenly two Russian soldiers rushed out from the side of the grass house.

The two are too far in, and they are almost full of collisions. Yusaku Uehara started a shot, but it didn't go off, and the bullet was gone.

The Russian soldier in front of Yusaku Uehara was also a little flustered, and he forgot to fire, but picked up his gun, screamed, and smashed it on his head.

The Russian soldier behind him didn't know whether the combat quality was higher or he was frightened and inexperienced, and the man was still by the door of the grass house, and he didn't rush out, but the gun had already gone off.

Yusaku Uehara faced them, and in a flash, he dodged to the right to avoid the attack of the Russian soldier in front of him, and the bullet flew past his left waist, shooting through two holes in the waist of the general's uniform. The guy fired another shot, and the bullet chased after him, but it immediately killed his own man in front of him.

That guy was really good marksmanship, and in an instant he had pierced the head of his companion in front of him. By this time, Yusaku Uehara had already dodged to the left of the grass house, avoiding the fall of the unfortunate man who had been shot.

This Russian soldier couldn't figure out how he was shot by his own man until he died? Of course he couldn't figure it out, and there was no time for him to figure it out before he died. He was shot in the head and killed almost instantly.

Obviously, the Russian soldier who killed his own person by mistake never expected it and was stunned.

Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, everything is a misunderstanding!

Before he could come to his senses, Kamiya Kira grabbed a Russian rifle with a bayonet and threw it at once, and the bayonet stabbed the Russian soldier who was still in a daze.

The Russian let out a roar of rage, the bayonet plunged into his abdomen, his body staggered, he did not fall, the rifle with the bayonet also shook with him, he held the barrel of the gun with both hands, forcefully pulled the bayonet out of the abdomen, he looked at Kamiya Kira, stared at a pair of bull's eyes, and howled again. Kamiya Kira was still a little girl after all, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but scream.

Yusaku Uehara hurriedly reloaded the bullet. Turn around a little. A shot was fired. And that's it. By the time he turned back to face the roundabout trench in front of him, two Satsuma soldiers had already rushed up, and another had rushed underneath.

The Satsuma soldier who rushed up first was sweating profusely, raised his thumb to Yusaku Uehara, and shouted, "Brother, good job! He shook his head, motioned to his companion, and quickly searched behind the grass house.

The third, who rushed up next to him, also gave him a thumbs up. roared: "Brother, good job!" Yusaku Uehara just wanted to cry at this moment, and finally saw his brother! He also took a gun and took Kamiya Kira, and followed the other side of his house to search for it.

After less than five minutes of fighting, it was all over. In this battle, a total of 15 Russian soldiers were killed, and only two escaped.

"Thanks to you! Brother, which unit are you in? ”

The Satsuma army came in a small squad without a single casualty. Everyone bumped heads. I made a brief introduction, and I heard Yusaku Uehara report his name. The officers and men of this unit were all in awe.

The name of Yusaku Uehara is now quite loud.

Yusaku Uehara is busy looking for his troops. The captain and deputy captain of the squad said to the soldiers, "Where is the captain going?" It's still chaotic everywhere now, there are a lot of people who have been scattered in Lucia's army, you are not safe alone, it is better to stay, stay with all of us first, and wait until today. ”

This squad was under the command of Saigo Takamori's younger brother, Saigo Kobei, and they were ordered by Kamimine to turn back and occupy this position. Just now, the troops were not manpowered, and everyone was red-eyed, so they only cared about charging forward, where did they have time to hold on?

Yusaku Uehara then told him about several dangers in this position, especially the situation that there were still a large number of Russian troops on the opposite side of the mountain, and he stressed that he must control the machine gun position he had just occupied: "There is the commanding height, and it is also the only way for the Lucia army to come and sneak attack, and if you control it, the position can be held." ”

The captain thought so, so he arranged for manpower to fortify, Yusaku Uehara asked him to come to the map to look at it, and figured out the direction of going back, so he said goodbye to the captain, planning to go back earlier, the captain saw that he was in a hurry to go back, so he did not force him to stay, but pointed out the direction, and sent someone to escort them for a ride.

Yusaku Uehara and Kira Kamiya didn't encounter any enemies along the way, and Yusaku Uehara remembered Kira Kamiya's performance in battle, and felt that she couldn't even use a rifle, and seemed to be a female ninja who had not yet been trained, so he taught her how to use a rifle and pistol while asking about her background.

Yusaku Uehara seemed happy when she taught her how to use a firearm, but when Yusaku Uehara chatted with her and asked her about her situation, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Kira Kamiya told Yusaku Uehara that due to the burning and looting of the Russian army, most of the villages where the Iga ninjas lived had been destroyed, except for the unknown "hidden place" in the deep mountains.

Because ninjas are a well-known armed group in Japanese history and have an extremely strong mystical color, they have always been taboo by successive Japanese rulers. There are many genres and places where ninjas are born, and the two most famous holy places are Iga and Koga. Located only 80 kilometers from Kyoto, Iga, one of the birthplaces of ninjas, has long been known as the "Hidden Country" and has no other way to enter than over a mountain pass. Koga, the birthplace of ninjas, is located in a relatively open area just across the mountain from Iga, bordering Lake Biwa to the north and connecting almost all the feudal roads east of. Although the Tokugawa Ieyasu era although the ninja group dedicated to serving the Tokugawa shogunate and made a lot of meritorious deeds, it was still taboo for the Tokugawa generals, because someone had suggested that the design of the Koga and Iga families kill each other, and the last drum was exterminated, Tokugawa Ieyasu had acted according to the plan at the beginning, and then because he was worried that the killing would be too much, the news caused turmoil, after all, the ninja power was very strong in these two places, and the plan was stopped halfway, and Koga and Iga were not killed, and Koga and Iga were greatly injured after this battle, The two chiefs also realized that when the era of peace came, they should no longer be involved in unnecessary fighting, so they led their clansmen to live in seclusion in peace, and only in very special circumstances, or when they were hired by the shogunate, they would send very few people back to their old jobs.

After the Meiji Restoration, the ninja basically withdrew from the stage of history, but because Koga and Iga were too close to Kyoto, and the history was extremely active, the Meiji government still hoped to completely eradicate it, but there was no chance, and the Koga ninja participated in the Satsuma Army in the Southwest War, which gave the Meiji government a pretext to rectify the ninjas, after the arrival of the Russian army, many Russian troops were killed by the Koga ninja in the Satsuma Army in the battle, and the Meiji government informed the Russian army headquarters of the relevant situation, As a result, the Russian army not only went on a killing spree against the Koga ninjas, but also picked up the Iga ninjas, who had been keeping to their own lives and did not participate in the war.

In the face of the brutal slaughter of the Russian army and the Meiji government army, the Iga ninja group could not bear it anymore, and while resisting, they decided to join the Satsuma Army and fight the Russian army together with the Satsuma Army.

Kamiya Kira was not originally a ninja, she had only learned some basic skills of ninjutsu from her clansmen, and now she was fifteen years old and never thought of participating in the war, but the arrival of the Russian army changed her life path. (To be continued......)
